Figure 1. Coronary angiography comparison. (A) Coronary angiogram from 9 months prior to presentation, showing mild cardiac allograft vasculopathy without any significant stenosis. (B) Coronary angiogram from the current presentation, showing diffuse cardiac allograft vasculopathy that has progressed significantly from the prior angiogram. The apical portion of the left anterior descending artery is completely occluded. Multiple attempts at balloon angioplasty were unsuccessful.
