Abstract

Transplant recipients are at risk of developing rejection that may cause significant morbidity and mortality following transplantation The clinical presentation of rejection may be atypical, leading to difficulties in diagnosis and management especially in cases with a nondiagnostic biopsy specimen. The emergence of artificial intelligence may aid in clinical decision making when traditional techniques are inconclusive.

Keywords: allograft rejection; endomyocardial biopsy; molecular microscope.
