BACKGROUND: Transplanted heart coronary artery disease (TxCAD) is the most frequent casue of death occuring > or =5 years after orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT). Considering three basic therapeutic approaches – percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), surgical revascularisation and retransplantation – PCI seems to be the superior method due to its safety and good short-term results, however, the long-term efficacy of PCI has been less well established. AIM: To evaluate long-term results of PCI in the treatment of OHT recipients with TxCAD.
