Relationship between intra-operative vein graft treatment with DuraGraft ® or saline and clinical outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting.

CONCLUSION: In this study, intra-operative treatment of SVGs with DuraGraft was associated with a lower risk of long-term adverse events suggesting that efficient intra-operative SVG treatment may reduce VGF-related complications post-CABG. These data warrant randomized clinical trials to validate these findings. PMID: 30285502 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
