Rivaroxaban as Therapy for Saphenous Venous Graft Failure due to Venous Outflow Mismatch
Background. Recurrent angina and long-term occlusion following coronary artery bypass graft surgery is often treated with percutaneous coronary intervention, a high-risk intervention for distal embolization.

Deep Vein Thrombosis in Critically Ill Patients With COVID‐19 Pneumonia
Objectives The risk of major venous thromboembolism (VTE) among patients with COVID‐19 is high but varies with disease severity. Estimate the incidence of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in critically ill hospitalized patients with COVID‐19, validate the Wells score for DVT diagnosis, and determine patients' prognosis.

Use of Lithotripsy in a Calcified Saphenous Vein Graft
Percutaneous coronary interventions in saphenous vein grafts can pose a variety of challenges, such as severely calcified lesions. If these lesions are nondilatable, lithotripsy can arguably be a proper tool for lesion preparation.

Recanalized saphenous vein graft once occluded in postoperative acute period
A 69-year-old female with diabetes mellitus underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting for old myocardial infarction and unstable angina with reduced left ventricular wall motion due to triple vessel disease. Although the saphenous vein graft was

Adventitial vessel growth and progenitor cells activation in an ex vivo culture system mimicking human saphenous vein wall strain after coronary artery bypass grafting [PDF]
Saphenous vein graft disease is a timely problem in coronary artery bypass grafting. Indeed, after exposure of the vein to arterial blood flow, a progressive modification in the wall begins, due to proliferation of smooth muscle cells in the intima. As a

Flap Choice in Gender Affirming Phalloplasty Affects Postoperative Complication Rates
ABSTRACT Background Phalloplasty plays an important role in female‐to‐male (FTM) gender affirmation surgery to create a neophallus that prioritizes aesthetic and functional outcomes. Patients have a variety of flap choices for phalloplasty, but they can often come with complications. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of flap choice on the rate of

A case of giant saphenous vein graft aneurysm followed serially after coronary artery bypass surgery
Saphenous vein graft aneurysm (SVGA) is one of the chronic complications after coronary aorta bypass grafting (CABG) and may be caused by atherosclerosis-like phenomena of the vein graft, weakness around the vein valve, rupturing of the suture of the ...

Pathobiology of Saphenous Vein Grafts
The long saphenous vein graft is the commonest conduit used for coronary artery bypass surgery. The short and long term success of the procedure depends on the patency of these bypass grafts. Vein graft disease can be divided into early (in the fi rst 30 days), intermediate (1 month to 1 year) and late (over 1 year).
