“…64 Regimens utilizing a PSI are appealing because the use is associated with reduced rates of CAV and improved renal function. 55,65,66 Current guidelines do not recommend the use of PSI for immunosuppression immediately after OHT in view of the lack of mortality benefit, fear of higher cellular rejection rates, and other adverse effects, including poor wound healing. 41 Current guidelines suggest adding a PSI to ongoing calcineurin inhibitor therapy in place of azathioprine or mycophenolate for patients with established CAV.…”
