Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The shortage of ideal donor hearts has led to an extension of the classical donor criteria of age. Higher incidence of focal coronary artery disease has been found in this older donor population requiring conventional angioplasty therapy. The authors present two patients with early coronary angiogram post transplantation, requiring angioplasty and stent in the lesions found.
