Intravascular ultrasound example of a de novo lesion of transplant vasculopathy. No lesions are shown at baseline examination (A). When the same site is identified on follow-up examination, significant intimal thickening is seen at that site (B). This lesion is defined as a de novo lesion of transplant vasculopathy. Note that this lesion is circumferential and non-eccentric. (From Kapadia SR, Nissen SE, Tuzcu EM. Curr Opin Cardiol 1999;14:140–150, with permission).
