| Popis: | BACKGROUND Noninvasive screening for cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) instead of invasive coronary angiography (ICA) within the first 3 to 5 years after heart transplantation (HTx) is controversial. We evaluated a strategy of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided conversion to early noninvasive screening post-HTx. METHODS A single-center study of 103 consecutive HTx recipients from 2008 to 2018 undergoing ICA at 1 year post-HTx. Of 88 patients with normal 1-year ICA, sixty-six patients underwent IVUS examination for risk stratification by maximal intimal thickness (MIT) into (i) low-risk group (MIT |
