We advocate early immunohistochemical surveillance testing for AMR to supplement the diagnostic algorithm established by the ISHLT, because a pattern of AMR becomes manifest soon after transplantation. This change will allow earlier detection of asymptomatic AMR and may prompt changes in immunosuppression strategies to avoid adverse outcomes.
