Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains a vital treatment for patients with
multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD), especially diabetics. The long-term benefit of the …

Background: Vein graft occlusion is deemed a major challenge in coronary artery bypass
grafting. Previous studies implied that the no-touch technique for vein graft harvesting could …

Long-term patency of a bypass graft is an important determinant in reducing morbidity and
increasing survival after coronary bypass surgery. The purpose of this review is to analyse …

BACKGROUND: Approximately 15% of saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) occlude during the
first year after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) despite aspirin use. The POPular …

Saphenous vein was the conduit used in the first series of coronary surgery, and, with the
exception of revascularization of the left anterior descending coronary artery, it remains the …

Aims Competitive flow from native coronary vessels is considered a major factor in the
failure of coronary bypass grafts. However, the pathophysiological effects are not fully …

Background The importance of a coronary artery, based on the myocardial mass it perfuses,
is well documented, but little is known about the importance of a vessel that has been …

A fast computational framework is devised to the study of several configurations of patient-
specific coronary artery bypass grafts. This is especially useful to perform a sensitivity …

Aim Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) using autologous saphenous vein continues to be
a gold standard procedure to restore the supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscles in …

Objectives Fractional flow reserve–guided coronary artery bypass grafting is emerging in
cardiac surgery, in which the nature (anatomic and functional characteristics) of the target …
