Does presence of severe intimal thickening by intravascular ultrasonography predict cardiac events in cardiac allograft vasculopathy?
This study represents one of the first reports that provides evidence that severe intimal hyperplasia predicts the development of cardiac events even in the presence of a normal coronary angiogram.
Fluoroscopic cough stress testing is not a useful predictor of MUT outcome. No preoperative variables have been found to predict MUT success.
