Objective: To review our current understanding of the epidemiology and pathogenesis of
vein graft failure (VGF), give an overview of current preventive and interventional measures …

Angiographic parameters predicting the likelihood of late occlusion of saphenous vein grafts
(SVG) have been infrequently described. The Post-CABG Study, a 5-year trial aimed at …

Background Diffuse intimal hyperplasia and graft irregularity adversely affect the long-term
patency of saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) and clinical outcomes of patients undergoing …

BACKGROUND: Use of saphenous vein graft (SVG) radiographic markers has been
associated with shorter cardiac catheterization procedure times and reduced contrast agent …

Objectives To undertake a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies to compare
the patency and adverse outcomes of sequential and individual saphenous vein grafts …

BACKGROUND: A paucity of data exists with respect to changes in whole saphenous vein
grafts (SVGs) despite accelerated atherosclerosis within grafted saphenous vein conduits. In …

Background Although multiarterial grafting or bilateral mammary artery use is being
increasingly emphasized for contemporary coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) practice …

Occlusion and degeneration of saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) poses significant problems in
patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. In the first year …

OBJECTIVES A sequential bypass technique has been widely used in the saphenous vein
grafts (SVGs) during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. The aim of the present …

Introduction The saphenous vein graft (SVG) is the most used conduit in CABG. With
standardization of its use as a conduit came an understanding of its accelerated …
