white graft

An anaemic—i.e., ‘white’—transplant tissue (e.g., skin or renal graft) undergoing hyperacute rejection and anoxia; vascularisation doesn’t occur because despite successful host and graft vessel anastomosis, the arteries are occluded by preformed antibodies, causing infarction, mandating tissue or organ’s removal
