Association of HLA Mismatch With Adverse Cardiovascular Events Following Lung Transplantation: A Single‐Center Study
In this study cohort, high HLA mismatch and HLA-DQ mismatch were not associated with increased adverse cardiovascular events. Furthermore, neither transplant rejection nor CMV infection increased the risk for cardiovascular events. The high cardiovascular event rates following LuTx necessitate meticulous cardiovascular follow-up, irrespective of immunological matching.
