Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy (IV)
Careful examination of the cut surfaces of ventricles often reveals intramural arteries (with a range in diameter from 0.2 to 0.5 mm) that are thickened with abundant perivascular fibrosis. In addition, focal areas of myocardial scarring may be evident.
Microscopic examination of normal intramural arteries is compared to CAV intramural arteries here.
