  • Title: [Angina after a heart transplant with evidence of late sympathetic reinnervation. Report of one case].
    Author: Riedemann S E, Castro G P, Quintana F JC, Pérez P O, Mc-Nab M P.
    Journal: Rev Med Chil; 2007 Dec; 135(12):1577-81. PubMed ID: 18357360.
    Abstract:
    We report a 56 years-old man presenting with chest pain with exercise, seven years after an orthotopic heart transplant. A coronary angiography showed an atherosclerotic lesion in the common left main coronary artery with more than 90% obstruction. The lesion was successfully treated with a transluminal angioplasty with stenting. A 131-1 metaiodobenylguanidine (MIBG) scan demonstrated sympathetic reinnervation. Sixteen months later, due to progression of allograft vasculopathy, coronary artery bypass was required.
