Cine computed tomographic evaluation of aortocoronary bypass graft patency [PDF]
Evaluation of the patency of coronary bypass grafts has previously required hospitalization for invasive angiography. This report of three cases documents the unique capability of cardiac cine computed tomography to easily and accurately define coronary ...

The art of saphenous vein grafting and patency maintenance [PDF]
Although the saphenous vein graft is used in the majority of coronary artery bypass grafting operations, graft failure still remains a major problem. Several pathophysiologic mechanisms have been identified. These could be mitigated by better vein segment selection together with improved harvesting, handling, and surgical technique.

Preoperative Prediction of Graft Patency for Infrapopliteal Arterial Bypass using Pulse-generated Runoff [PDF]
Objective: to assess: (i) pulse-generated runoff (PGR) as a tool for preoperative prediction of graft patency; (ii) the effect of PGR use on graft patency.

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for dysfunctional femoral hemodialysis graft
PURPOSEWe aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for dysfunctional femoral arteriovenous graft and analyze clinical or anatomic predictors of graft patency.METHODSThe records of 45 patients who ...

Effect of compliance mismatch on vascular graft patency [PDF]
The hypothesis that a mismatch in compliance between a vascular graft and its host artery is detrimental to graft patency was tested by implanting paired arterial autografts, prepared with differential glutaraldehyde fixation of carotid arteries in the femoral arteries of dogs.
