摘要:Cardiac transplantation has had a major impact on the quality of life and longevity of an ever-increasing number of patients. This benefit is significantly eroded by the development of an accelerated form of coronary arterial disease, which shows some, but not all, of the characteristics of native coronary artery disease, and itself is one of the major indications for transplantation.
