Am J Cardiol. 1998 Jul 15;82(2):239-41. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(98)00295-1.

Abstract

We undertook a study to determine the efficacy of stents in reducing restenosis in cardiac allograft vasculopathy. The result shows that coronary stenting significantly reduces restenosis in cardiac allograft vasculopathy compared with balloon angioplasty alone.
