The implications of this new aggressive form of coronary disease for the transplant population are obvious. It appears that for the majority of transplant patients we have simply bought some time. We have given them a temporary respite from congestive failure and cardiomyopathy while they surmount the daily challenges imposed by immunosuppression. Clearly, this issue now looms as a major stumbling block toward improving long-term survival. It is no longer enough to simply perform the procedure and submit the patient to the rigors of transplantation, only to obtain 50 percent 5-year survival. We must pay particular attention to the patient postoperatively and make those modifications necessary to improve the individual's risk profile. Moreover, we must continue to concentrate our research efforts on interventions in accelerated coronary disease.
