Overview

Since the early manifestations of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) are confined to the arterial wall, use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) makes it particularly useful in assessing graft coronary arteries early after heart transplantation. Its relatively higher sensitivity in defining arterial wall changes has shed light on important advances in the understanding of the natural history, distribution, and morphology of CAV.
