摘要: Background—Coronary artery disease occurs in an accelerated fashion the donor heart after transplantation (TxCAD), but cause is poorly understood. The risk of developing TxCAD increased by cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and decreased use calcium blockers. Our group observed that prophylactic administration ganciclovir early inhibited CMV illness, we now propose to determine whether this therapy also prevents TxCAD. Methods Results—One hundred forty-nine consecutive patients (131 men 18 women aged 48±13 years) were randomized receive either or placebo during initial 28 days transplantation. Immunosuppression consisted muromonab-CD3 (OKT-3) prophylaxis maintenance with cyclosporine, prednisone, azathioprine. Mean follow-up time was 4.7±1.3 years. In a post hoc analysis trial designed assess efficacy for prevention disease, compared actuarial incidence TxCAD, ...
