===Microscopic=== | |||
The biopsy sample is adequate to pathologically evaluate acute cellular rejection activity. There is microcopic focal endomyocardial fibrosis which may represent the site of a previous biopsy. One small lymphocytic infiltrate is seen superficially (Quilty effect). Inflammation of the myocardium is not appreciated. Edema of the myocardium is not appreciated. Myocardial vessels are unremarkable. | |||

Heart allograft, endomyocardial biopsies x 5 - ISHLT Grade 0, no evidence of acute cellular rejection, with: | |||
