An analysis of late deaths after liver transplantation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Graft vascular disease, a major cause of late graft failure in cardiac transplant patients, is associated with the presence of class II major histocompatibility complex molecules on the endothelium. 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl (HMG)-CoA reductase inhibitors, e.g., simvastatin, have been shown to reduce the in...
