Angiographic Patency of Coronary Artery Bypass Conduits: A Network Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Trials

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background Several randomized trials have compared the patency of coronary artery bypass conduits. All of the published studies, however, have performed pairwise comparisons and a comprehensive evaluation of the patency rates of all conduits has yet to ...

Reinventing the Saphenous Vein: Reconstructing the Anterior Mitral Leaflet With a Saphenous Vein [PDF]

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2019
Mitral valve repair can sometimes require leaflet augmentation or a patch repair of a defect in the leaflet. No ideal patch material is currently available that can grow and adapt to the mitral leaflet. This report describes a new technique using autologous saphenous vein as patch material.

Saphenous vein: advances

Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2018
Although the saphenous vein (SV) is a widely used conduit for coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), lower long-term graft patency rates and worse clinical outcomes have been reported after CABG performed with SV grafts compared with CABG performed with internal thoracic artery (ITA) grafts.
