May support angioplasty in selected transplant CAD; hypothesis-generating case report requiring prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Population

211 heart transplant recipients (who underwent 214 heart transplantations between 1983 and 1994). 30 patients had significant localized arterial stenoses.

Intervention

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) for critical stenosis (n=12) or retransplantation for progressive graft vascular disease with congestive heart failure (n=5).

Outcome

Safety and primary results of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and retransplantation are viable options for managing allograft vascular disease in selected heart transplant recipients.
