Cardiac transplant vasculopathy

Key Points

• Transplant vasculopathy is a form of slowly progressive rejection.
• The interventional cardiologist plays an important role in maintaining survival of this precious commodity by performing PCI.
• Everolimus drug eluting stents are highly effective and have relatively low occurrence of in-stent restenosis, but transplant vasculopathy continues to progress in a diffuse pattern.
