Figure 1 Angiographic evidence of early graft vasculopathy that responded to increased immunosuppressive therapy. Coronary angiography in left anterior oblique view in patient #1 demonstrated diffuse coronary artery disease 2 months after transplantation (A). The angiographic evidence of vasculopathy was also accompanied by anterior myocardial perfusion defect. The angiographic abnormality showed resolution with augmented immunosuppression. There was a complete resolution of scintigraphic perfusion abnormality. The patient continues to show angiographically normal coronary arteries 126 months after operation.
