Abstract EN

Cardiac allograft vasculopathy is still a major issue, with significative mortality in heart transplant patients, and the best therapeutic options are not yet established.

The progressively higher survival rates after transplantation have made it a major concern.

This is a case report about a patient who underwent cardiac transplantation due to chagasic cardiomiopathy.

During an endomyocardial biopsy more than 2 years after the transplant, the patient arrested in ventricular fibrillation, with ST-elevation in anterior leads after defibrillation.

The angiography showed total occlusion of proximal left anterior descending artery, promptly treated with primary angioplasty, with excellent angiographic and clinical results.
