Background: To date, the etiologic factors involved in the development of allograft coronary disease remain speculative and the treatment uncertain. The purpose of this study was to review the relationship of clinical, angiographic, and pathologic features of cardiac allograft vascular disease in a large population of heart transplant recipients followed for up to 15 years.
Methods: From 1981 to 1996, 789 angiograms from 255 cardiac allografts were reviewed to determine the prevalence and severity of coronary artery disease.
