Popis: Accelerated coronary artery disease in the transplanted heart remains the leading cause of death in heart transplant recipients. Traditional treatment modalities have generally yielded sub-optimal results. Coronary artery stents are used frequently in the non-transplanted heart to treat coronary artery disease. Only a few cases using this approach in the cardiac transplant recipient have been reported. This report details the use of this modality in a transplant recipient with significant two-vessel coronary artery disease 11 years after orthotopic cardiac transplantation.
