What is the impact of preserving the endothelium on saphenous vein graft performance? Comments on the ‘NO’ touch harvesting technique [PDF]
Saphenous veins used for coronary artery bypass surgery are subjected to considerable vascular trauma when harvested by conventional methods. This vascular damage is responsible, at least in part, for the inferior patency of the saphenous vein when ...

Saphenous vein graft aneurysm [PDF]
An 80-year-old man with chronic stable angina and a history of coronary artery bypass grafting underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography for investigation of aorto-iliac disease. As an incidental finding, he was noted to have a large coronary vein graft aneurysm adjacent to the right heart (Panel A).

Predictive factors of late venous aortocoronary graft failure: ultrastructural studies. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Venous aortocoronary graft arterialization may precede a preterm occlusion in some coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients. The aim of the present study was to identify ultrastructural variations in the saphenous vein wall that may ...
