Abstract

Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is an important cause of mortality after pediatric heart transplantation (HT) but there is a paucity of data regarding its incidence and impact on survival in children once they reach adulthood. Differences in outcomes according to transplant era are also not well characterized. Our objectives were to describe the incidence of CAV overall and according to transplant era and to evaluate the impact of CAV on mortality in pediatric HT recipients transitioned to adult care.
