Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is the major determinant of long-term survival after heart transplantation. The characteristic diffuse concentric intimal thickening of CAV detected by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging may not be perceivable on coronary angiogram. Previous studies of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in murine models suggested the protective effects on vascular endothelium and allograft survival. However, the possible role of circulating HGF that contributes to the development of CAV in human is unclear.
