The Development of Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy Occurs in Early Intimal Thickening and Constrictive Remodeling in Long-Term Period; Long-Term Serial Intravascular Ultrasound Study
The development of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is known to be induced by a biphasic process involving early intimal thickening and late constrictive remodeling. However, change of intimal thickening long-term period post heart transplantation (HTx) is still unknown. Our aim of this study was to investigate the change of intimal thickening of CAV long-term period post-HTx.
