What is graft study?
The GRAFT Study: Evaluation of Graft Function, Rejection and Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy in First Heart Transplant Recipients. The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators.
Which part of the body does angiography deal with?
Common types include: coronary angiography – to check the heart and nearby blood vessels. cerebral angiography – to check the blood vessels in and around the brain. pulmonary angiography – to check the blood vessels supplying the lungs.
