Comparison of Short versus Extended Valganciclovir Prophylaxis in Donor‐Positive Recipient‐Negative Mismatched Heart Transplant Recipients: An Observational Study
In the present study, no difference was observed in the incidence of CMV viremia within 1 year between short versus extended duration of GCV/VGCV prophylaxis in CMV D+/R- heart transplant recipients. Prospective studies with a larger sample size may be needed to confirm this finding.
