The predominant causes of late graft loss after orthotopic cardiac transplantation are graft rejection, coronary artery disease, and infection.
The histopathological dianosis of acute rejection of cardiac allograft is based on cellular phenomena such as lymphocytic infultration with myocyte damage. The symptoms may be very different depending on the rejection grading scale. Usually, this form of rejection is resolved with stabdard antirejection therapy: steroid pulse therapy, increasing doses of Cyclosporine A or in the case of therapy-resistance rejection, with monoclonal antibodies.
