Transplant arteriosclerosis : an experimental study on risk factors and pathogenetic mechanisms [PDF]
, 2001 In this thesis, we focused on vascular damage inflicted after transplantation, i.e. injury of the graft vasculature as a result of an alloreactive response of the host against the graft, and everal factors in-fluencing this process.
