Objectives. We sought to examine, angiographically, the long-term fate of a large number of
mainly venous coronary bypass grafts and to correlate graft patency and disease with …

Both the Veterans Administration Cooperative Study and the European Coronary Surgery
Study have provided only brief accounts of graft patency rates in their surgically treated …

In 222 patients, 741 venous coronary bypass grafts were studied angiographically early, at 1
year and at a late examination at> 6.5 years (mean 9.6) after operation; 565 of these grafts …

A total of 1,179 vein grafts were studied angiographically in 353 (45%) unselected survivors
(male, mean age 45.5 years) of 786 coronary bypass operations. Studies were conducted …

The survival and functional status of 500 consecutive patients who underwent isolated
coronary artery bypass grafting from 1969 through 1972 were evaluated 10 to 12 years after …

Objective: We studied retrospectively the patency of grafts after coronary artery bypass
grafting (CABG) using serial angiographies performed one year and five years after surgery …

Background. There are few data about angiographic determinants of functional graft patency
and native artery disease progression after coronary artery bypass grafting operation with …

From 1978 to 1988, coronary angioplasty was performed in 422 patients with prior coronary
artery bypass surgery (264 patients with native coronary artery angioplasty and 158 patients …

All 1400 coronary bypass grafts, in 409 survivors of 414 patients undergoing 440
consecutive bypass operations, were selectively opacified in multiplane cineangiograms …

The incidence of coronary artery reoperations averaged 2.7% from 1967 through 1979. In a
mean interval of 51 months between operations, three-vessel disease increased from 24 …
