Effectiveness of percutaneous coronary intervention in cardiac allograft vasculopathy

Am J Cardiol. 2004 Jan 1;93(1):90-2. doi: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2003.08.075.

Abstract

Twenty-five heart transplant recipients underwent 45 coronary interventions at a mean of 7.8 +/- 2.2 years from time of transplant. Periprocedural success was high, and there was a trend toward better outcomes in the group that underwent stent deployment compared with conventional balloon angioplasty.
