متن کاملConduits for Coronary Bypass: Vein Grafts
The saphenous vein has been the principal conduit for coronary bypass grafting from the beginning, circa 1970. This report briefly traces this history and concomitantly presents one surgeons experience and personal views on use of the vein graft. As such it is not exhaustive but meant to be practical with a modest number of references. The focus is that of providing guidance and perspective whi...
متن کاملAtherosclerosis in rabbit vein grafts.
Human coronary saphenous vein bypass grafts develop atherosclerosis more readily than do grafts made of internal mammary artery. The reasons for this increased susceptibility, particularly in the presence of hyperlipidemia, are not known. In this study in rabbits, we investigated the possibility that the increased susceptibility might be attributed to increased smooth muscle proliferation and f...
متن کاملMouse models of vein grafts.
To the Editor: A recent article published in Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology by Sata and Nagai1 provided a commentary on mouse models of vein grafts based on our mouse model2 and another model by Cooley.3 Although it is not a peer-reviewed article, it is expected to be a fair and accurate expert view. However, I feel that there are several issues which are not fair or fully a...
متن کاملProtection from atherosclerosis in vein grafts by a rigid external support.
Atherosclerosis is a common feature of autogenous vein bypass grafts resulting in their long-term failure. Arterial pressure-induced distension is thought to play a major role in the wall thickening of vein grafts, which may in turn favor atherosclerotic complications. In this study, we evaluated the influence of vein distension on the development of atherosclerotic lesions in jugular vein graf...
