Pathophysiology and Mechanisms of Saphenous Vein Graft Failure [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2022 Introduction: Coronary artery bypass grafting remains one of the best therapies for advanced coronary artery disease. The most used conduit remains the great saphenous vein, which is susceptible to short-term and long-term failure, the result of acute ...

Apixaban for the treatment of saphenous vein graft thrombosis presenting as unstable angina: a case report [PDF]
Thrombosis Journal, 2017 Background Saphenous vein graft thrombosis can present as unstable angina. However, percutaneous coronary intervention for saphenous vein graft lesions poses a high risk of slow flow related to the procedure.

Towards Endoscopic No-Touch Saphenous Vein Graft Harvesting in Coronary Bypass Surgery [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2022 The saphenous vein is the most used conduit for coronary artery bypass surgery. However, the patency rate of this graft is inferior to the internal thoracic artery patency rate, which is the gold standard.

Twenty-Five Years of No-Touch Saphenous Vein Harvesting for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Structural Observations and Impact on Graft Performance [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2020 The saphenous vein is the most common conduit used in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) yet its failure rate is higher compared to arterial grafts. An improvement in saphenous vein graft performance is therefore a major priority in CABG.

Morphological Changes in Endothelial Cell Organelles in a No-Touch Saphenous Vein Graft [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2022 Introduction: Improved long-term patency of the no-touch (NT) saphenous vein graft has been reported to result from the preservation of a healthy vascular microstructure, especially endothelial cells.

Internal jugular vein reconstruction using a triple-paneled great saphenous vein graft [PDF]
World Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2023 Background Donor–recipient diameter discrepancy can be problematic when using an autologous great saphenous vein graft for internal jugular vein reconstruction. A triple-paneled method of saphenous vein grafting is one solution.

Potential of quantitative flow ratio in guiding conduit selection between radial artery and saphenous vein graft for coronary artery bypass graftingCentral MessagePerspective [PDF]
JTCVS OpenObjectives: Radial artery grafts and saphenous vein grafts exhibit heterogeneous responses to competitive flow, a phenomenon assessable through quantitative flow ratio.

What is the impact of preserving the endothelium on saphenous vein graft performance? Comments on the ‘NO’ touch harvesting technique [PDF]
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2021 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 ...
