title: Allograft vasculopathy and death in a cardiac transplant patient with angiographically normal coronary arteries.
abstract: A cardiac transplant patient died of severe left ventricular dysfunction 2 weeks after coronary angiography demonstrated normal coronary arteries. Post mortem examination showed significant and diffuse allograft vasculopathy. Coronary angiography may have limited sensitivity in detecting allograft vasculopathy.
