Abstract
Percutaneous intervention can be performed safely in cardiac transplant recipients. Stent placement reduces early and mid-term re-stenosis, but late re-stenosis occurs in 70% of lesions. Late re-stenosis, development of new coronary lesions, and need for repeat intervention are common, regardless of the method used for percutaneous intervention, emphasizing the diffuse and progressive nature of transplant coronary disease.
