Abstract
The results of DSA testing in this cohort showed excellent sensitivity and negative predictive value for biopsy-diagnosed AMR, suggesting that DSA testing may aid in the non-invasive prediction of AMR absence in HT. The correlation of DSA MFI strength with higher AMR biopsy grade and the trend toward differences in longer term cardiovascular outcomes provide evidence for routine DSA monitoring after pediatric HT.
