Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Case Description
Coronary artery disease is the most important cause of late morbidity and mortality after heart transplantation. It is usually an immunologic phenomenon termed cardiac allograft vasculopathy, but can also be the result of donor-transmitted atherosclerosis. Routine surveillance by coronary angiography should be complemented by intracoronary imaging, in order to determine the nature of the coronary lesions, and also by assessment of their functional significance to guide the decision whether to perform percutaneous coronary intervention. We report a case of coronary angiography at five-year follow-up after transplantation, using optical coherence tomography and fractional flow reserve to assess and optimize treatment of coronary disease in this challenging population. Doença coronária é a causa mais importante de morbimortalidade tardia após transplantação cardíaca. Habitualmente, representa um fenómeno imunológico designado como vasculopatia do aloenxerto, mas também pode resultar da aterosclerose transmitida pelo dador. A vigilância através de coronariografia de rotina deve ser complementada pela utilização de imagem intracoronária, de forma a determinar a natureza das lesões, e também através de uma avaliação funcional para tomada da decisão de realizar intervenção coronária percutânea. Apresentamos o caso de uma coronariografia aos cinco anos de seguimento após transplantação, utilizando tomografia de coerência ótica e fractional flow reserve para avaliação e otimização do tratamento da doença coronária nesta população desafiante.
