Techniques and Technologies to Improve Vein Graft Patency in Coronary Surgery
Vein grafts, commonly used in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), have lower patency rates than arterial options, and this review examines methods to improve their quality, identifying preoperative and postoperative therapies and no-touch harvesting as most effective. Additionally, the review suggests re-doing CABG and primary coronary intervention on native vessels as the best strategies for treating vein graft failure, with percutaneous procedures as a secondary option.
