Objectives To investigate the results of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in
saphenous vein grafts after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Design. MEDLINE …

Background—Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of saphenous vein grafts (SVGs)
has historically been associated with a high risk of adverse ischemic events, but there is a …

Opinion statement Saphenous vein graft (SVG) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
currently accounts for approximately 6% of all PCIs and is associated with increased risk for …

Saphenous vein grafts (SVGs), used during coronary artery bypass graft surgery for severe
coronary artery disease, are prone to degeneration and occlusion, leading to poor long-term …

The external stenting of saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) during coronary artery bypass
grafting (CABG) has been proven to reduce intimal hyperplasia (IH) in animal models …

Coronary bypass graft surgery provides symptomatic relief and a long life expectancy for
most patients with coronary artery disease who have suitable vessels. Although arterial …

Objectives Autologous saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) are the most commonly used bypass
conduits in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with multivessel coronary artery disease …

Background: Direct stenting without pre-dilation or post-dilation has been advocated for
saphenous vein graft percutaneous coronary intervention to decrease the incidence of distal …

Given their frequent use as bypass conduits and high rates of degeneration, saphenous vein
grafts (SVGs) will continue to require percutaneous coronary intervention. Due to their …

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Percutaneous interventions on saphenous vein grafts
are associated with a worse outcome than in native vessels, mainly because of the risk of …
