Abstract:
End-stage dilated cardiomyopathy belongs to the irreversible cardiac decompensation stage,and neither drugs nor cardiac resynchronization therapy can improve the symptoms of heart failure in patients.Orthotopic heart transplantation is a surgical procedure that involves removing the diseased heart of the recipient and implanting the donor heart in its original position.With the advancements in surgical transplantation techniques and immunosuppressive therapy,it has become an effective treatment for end-stage heart disease.Coronary artery disease after heart transplantation is one of the issues that need attention after heart transplantation.This article reports a 68-year-old male who suffered from recurrent heart failure and ventricular tachycardia due to"dilated cardiomyopathy"and underwent allogeneic orthotopic heart transplantation 5 years ago.The patient underwent coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound examination under local anesthesia.This case has certain guiding significance for studying the progression of coronary artery disease in heart transplant patients.
