Background: For noninvasive surveillance of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV), cardiac computed tomography (cardiac computed tomography [CT]) and positron emission tomography (PET) received a Class IIa recommendation by the 2023 ISHLT (International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation) guidelines. However, implementation has lagged behind because of concerns about their ability to rule out disease and stratify risk.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to define the diagnostic and prognostic ability of PET and cardiac CT in cardiac transplant recipients.

Article Synopsis
  • Most lymphoblastic neoplasms are diagnosed as leukemias, and existing guidelines for identifying these cells primarily rely on flow cytometry, but there is a need for more studies on lymphoblastic lymphomas.
  • A detailed analysis of 193 pediatric lymphoblastic lymphoma cases showed various complex types, including mixed phenotypes and some that couldn't be clearly classified.
  • The findings suggest that current World Health Organization guidelines for diagnosing precursor cell leukemia need to be revised for lymphoma, and a new, cost-effective staining panel for immunohistochemical analysis is proposed.
