Characteristics, risks, and outcomes of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease >3 years after pediatric heart transplant: A multicenter analysis.

abstract：:Hepatic allograft rejection still remains an important problem following liver transplantation. Early acute rejection, occurring within three months of transplant, is a common event and usually of lesser significance with respect to prognosis than other non-immune-related post-transplant morbidities. However, little i...
