P109 PROGRESSION OF AORTIC ARCH CALCIFICATION AFTER KIDNEY TRANSPLANT AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN PREDICTING CARDIOVASCULAR RISK: SINGLE-CENTER 2-YEAR FOLLOW-UP STUDY

P109 PROGRESSION OF AORTIC ARCH CALCIFICATION AFTER KIDNEY TRANSPLANT AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN PREDICTING CARDIOVASCULAR RISK: SINGLE-CENTER 2-YEAR FOLLOW-UP STUDY

Vascular calcification (VC) is linked to post-transplant cardiovascular events in the long term. We aimed to evaluate whether pretransplant chest X-ray based aortic arch calcification (AoAC) or pulse wave velocity measurement can better predict post- transplant cardiovascular or cerebrovascular even...
