Abstract
Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is the most common cause of late death after heart transplantation (HTx) and may occur in up to 50% of patients (pts) within 5 yrs post transplantation. It has been observed that patients who continue to have normal angiograms further from the time of HTx may be at lower risk for development of subsequent CAV. The purpose of the current study was to determine the risk of CAV and death in pts with normal angiograms at 1-10 yrs post HTx and to determine the need for annual surveillance angiography in these pts late after HTx.
