Abstract
We observed a time-related change in IVUS-VH-derived plaque composition. Necrotic core and calcium, typical atheromatous components, become more prevalent with time after HTx, especially when influenced by cardiovascular risk factors. The presence of a necrotic core in the early stages was linked to older donor age.
