Progressive saphenous vein graft (SVG) failure remains a key limitation to the long-term success of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). SVG disease after the first year is dominated by intimal hyperplasia, which predisposes the SVG to thrombosis and accelerated atherosclerosis. The objective of this study was to review and summarize the latest experimental and clinical data on the use of mechanical external stents for vein grafts.

Abstract
Progressive saphenous vein graft (SVG) failure remains a key limitation to the long-term success of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). SVG disease after the first year is dominated by intimal hyperplasia, which predisposes the SVG to thrombosis and accelerated atherosclerosis. The objective of this study was to review and summarize the latest experimental and clinical data on the use of mechanical external stents for vein grafts.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
