Thirty-year patency of a coronary sequential venous bypass graft.
BACKGROUND The optimal conduit of second choice in surgical coronary revascularization remains a matter of debate. Radial artery grafts are believed to have a better patency rate than the saphenous vein grafts, although no conclusive results have been reported. This report describes the late result of a coronary revascularization with sequential venous bypass performed 30 years earlier. METHO...
متن کاملNeointimal hyperplasia, vein graft remodeling, and long-term patency.
NEOINTIMAL HYPERPLASIA is generally considered as the major cause of vein graft stenosis and is the leading pathological sign of vein graft disease. Most research on this problem has focused on the inhibition of neointimal growth, based on the hypothesis that the inhibition of neointimal hyperplasia would improve long-term patency of the vein graft. However, the inhibition of cell proliferation...
متن کاملSaphenous Vein Graft Patency 1 Year After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery and Effects of Antiplatelet Therapy
To determine whether antiplatelet therapies improve saphenous vein graft patency after coronary artery bypass grafting, we compared 1) aspirin (325 mg once daily), 2) aspirin (325 mg three times daily), 3) aspirin and dipyridamole (325 mg and 75 mg, respectively, three times daily), 4) sulfinpyrazone (267 mg three times daily), and 5) placebo (three times daily). Therapy with dipyridamole and s...
متن کاملUnderstanding saphenous vein graft patency.
Saphenous vein was the conduit used in the first series of coronary surgery, and, with the exception of revascularization of the left anterior descending coronary artery, it remains the most commonly used conduit.1 There are several reasons for this. First, because of its relatively large diameter and wall characteristics, it is technically easy to use; second, it is plentiful, and therefore ca...
متن کاملBlood transfusion for lower extremity bypass is associated with increased wound infection and graft thrombosis.
BACKGROUND Packed RBC transfusion has been postulated to increase morbidity and mortality after cardiac/general surgical operations, but its effects after lower extremity bypass (LEB) have not been studied extensively. STUDY DESIGN Using the Vascular Study Group of New England's database (2003-2010), we examined 1,880 consecutive infrainguinal LEB performed for critical limb ischemia. Periope...
