Optical coherence tomography and intravascular ultrasound evaluation of cardiac allograft vasculopathy with and without intimal neovascularization

Conclusion
OCT-identified microchannels increased sharply within the first year and were correlated with intimal volume and coronary risks. This suggests that neovascularization may play an important role in the progression of cardiac allograft vasculopathy.
