Saphenous vein graft failure after coronary artery bypass surgery
Circulation, 10/21/2014 Clinical Article

Hess CN, et al. – Coronary artery bypass grafting success is limited by vein graft failure (VGF). Understanding the factors associated with VGF may improve patient outcomes. VGF is common and associated with patient and surgical factors. These findings may help identify patients with risk factors for VGF and inform the development of interventions to reduce VGF.
