Impact of Graft Velocity on Saphenous Vein Graft Atherosclerosis after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

CONCLUSION: Lower graft velocity and higher graft/native ratio in diameter were associated with the graft atherosclerosis. The N-SVG group had increased graft velocity, which may contribute to prevent the graft atherosclerosis.(Trial registration: UMIN Clinical Trial Registry no. UMIN000050482.
