Understanding 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 کاملIntraoperative imaging techniques to assess coronary artery bypass graft patency.
Graft patency verification is increasingly recognized as an important component of coronary artery bypass grafting. Intuitively, eliminating intraoperative graft failure should reduce cardiac mortality and morbidity in the short term and improve clinical outcome in the long term. Although conventional angiography remains the gold standard technique for assessing graft patency, it is rarely avai...
متن کاملBypass graft stent fracture leading to saphenous vein graft pseudoaneurysm.
An 83-year-old man, with a history of coronary artery bypass graft surgery 19 years before presentation and subsequent percutaneous coronary intervention to saphenous vein graft with placement of a paclitaxel drug-eluting stent 16 years later, presented with a 2-week history of fevers, productive cough, and pleuritic chest pain. He was found to have leukocytosis and chest x-ray evidence of pneu...
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 کاملSequential saphenous vein coronary bypass graft with patency of 22 years.
A76-year-old woman who had a coronary artery bypass using a sequential saphenous vein graft to the diagonal branch and the left anterior descending artery (LAD) remained free of chest pain for 22 years. She was recently diagnosed with critical aortic valve stenosis. Cardiac catheterization showed the sequential saphenous vein graft was patent. The size of the graft was remodeled according to th...
