The late post-operative patency rate of aorto-coronary venous grafts

P Bopp et al. J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino). 1980 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

Long-term aorto-coronary venous graft patency has been examined in a consecutive series of 47 patients (average: 1.6 graft per patient) after a mean follow-up period of 5 years and 9 months (44-108 months) post surgery. Overall patency rate was 71% (52/73 grafts), with the best results for LAD grafts 85% (27/32). Seventy-seven percent of the patients experienced lasting relief from angina. Significant improvement of LV ejection fraction was observed in cases with patent grafts.
