Patency of the saphenous vein conduit anastomosed to the aortic dacron graft

Abstract

Conclusion. The saphenous vein conduit anastomosed to the aortic dacron graft may have negative effects on graft patency. The placement of saphenous vein on a native tissue like the innominate artery may have beneficial effects of graft patency by slowing down neointimal hyperplasia.
