From: Recruitment of aged donor heart with pharmacological stress echo. A case report
Graft coronary artery imaging- appearance by angiography and intravascular ultrasound 1 month after follow-up. Excellent angiographic result demonstrating concordance with the pre-transplant potential donor stress echo (no inducible ischemia). The left panel shows angiogram obtained on the transplanted heart 1 month after engraftment. Angiographic imaging of the midportion of the LAD only shows minor lumen irregularities within the vessel. The right panel shows intravascular ultrasound images obtained in the same coronary segment.
