Biopsy - mild acellular

Microscopic=

The sections show a well-sampled endomyocardium with multiple myocardial scars. There are focal, sparse lymphocytic infiltrates adjacent to the scar tissue, which is consistent with old biopsy sites. Most blood vessels appear histomorphologically normal; however, there is focal, mild vascular swelling with lymphocyte margination.

Final diagnosis

Heart allograft, endomyocardial biopsies x 7 - ISHLT Grade 1R, acute cellular rejection, focal, mild.
