Description
Marina Arai and co-authors wrote in 2026 about cardiac allograft vasculopathy, a top cause of late death after heart transplant. The disease narrows coronary arteries diffusely and fast through immune-driven inflammation. It most often hits the left anterior descending artery. This differs from the slow lipid-driven course of native atherosclerosis.
Coronary angiography most often checks the disease. Intravascular ultrasound has deepened insight by showing vessel wall shifts past the lumen. Optical coherence tomography, with higher detail, shows finer microstructural traits. The write-up sums up imaging gains, pathophysiology, and outlook. For transplant clinicians, it clarifies how to spot, stage, and track a disease that threatens grafts silently for years.
