The predictive value of the recently proposed SAFINOUS score still needs to be validated in
a large multicenter cohort to assess the performance of the tool, particularly in the extremes …

Objectives Early saphenous vein graft (SVG) occlusion is typically attributed to technical
factors. We aimed at exploring clinical, anatomical, and operative factors associated with the …

Saphenous vein graft (SVG) failure is a common finding in patients following coronary artery
bypass graft (CABG) surgery. In the literature SVG failure rates have been reported from 25 …

T saphenous vein graft (SVG) occlusion. The developed SAFINOUS risk score 2 is
composed of clinical, laboratory, and operative factors and predicts the risk for early SVG …

The SWEDEGRAFT study (ClinicalTrials. gov Identifier: NCT03501303) tests the hypothesis
that saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) harvested with the “no-touch” technique improves …

Background The quality of saphenous vein grafts (SVG) frequently is cited by surgeons as a
determinant of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) outcomes, but this relationship has not …

Hall and Brilakis. SVG failure patients were randomized to BIMA and 1,554 to single IMA
grafts. Additional arterial or vein grafts were used at the discretion of the surgeon. At 10-year …

Background: Saphenous vein grafts (SVG) are frequently used in coronary artery bypass
grafting (CABG) surgery but have lower patency rates compared to arterial conduits. Early …

OBJECTIVES Coronary artery bypass grafting for advanced coronary artery disease is a well-
established procedure with excellent long-term results. The issue of saphenous vein graft …

Objective To identify risk factors of saphenous vein graft (SVG) failure and to investigate the
utility of anatomical SYNTAX score (SS) and SYNTAX score II (SS-II) in predicting SVG …
