Overview

Prevention

As the pathogenesis of CAV consists of both immunological and non-immunological insults, preventative strategies should consist of control of risk factors for CAV and optimal immunosuppressive therapy.

Optimization of Immunosuppressive Therapy

Options for immunosuppressive therapy for prevention of CAV include:

Calcineurin inhibitors
