Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Endothelial Injury and Development of Coronary Intimal Thickening After Heart Transplantation
Coronary allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is the leading cause of late graft failure and second
leading cause of late mortality after heart transplantation. CAV has been associated with a
variety of traditional risk factors for atherosclerosis; however, immune mediated injury from
development of de-novo donor-specific antibodies after transplantation also likely plays an
important role. Similar to the progression of traditional atherosclerosis, it is likely that
endothelial dysfunction is the precursor to the development of intimal thickening and CAV.
The investigators hypothesize that coronary allograft vasculopathy after heart
transplantation as defined by progressive neointimal hyperplasia is preceded by endothelial
dysfunction, which in turn is at least partly mediated by donor specific antibodies.
The investigators are proposing a prospective study in humans to test the above hypothesis
and further mechanistically understand how CAV progresses. In this study the investigators
will test for coronary endothelial function by infusing acetylcholine into the coronary
artery and measure intimal hyperplasia by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and compare
findings in patients with and without donor specific antibodies.
