(A) The endomyocardial biopsy shows unremarkable heart tissue. No morphologic features suggestive of acute rejection are seen (hematoxylin-eosin stain; original magnification ×100). (B) Gross examination shows a dilated ventricle and surgical sutures on the aorta. (C) Vacuolar degeneration of cardiomyocytes is scattered in the myocardium. These vacuoles were demonstrated to contain lipid in the subsequent electronic microscopic examination (hematoxylin-eosin stain; original magnification ×100). (D) Lipid droplets in cardiomyocytes are demonstrated by electronic microscopic examination. Note that endothelial cells are devoid of lipid accumulation. Image was taken with an electron microscopy technique, with ultra-thin sections stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate without special immunochemistry stain. Magnification: 5 µm. (E) Cardiac allograft vasculopathy. Concentric intimal proliferation is seen in the coronary artery. The media is of normal thickness and shows little lipoprotein deposition (hematoxylin-eosin stain; original magnification ×100).
