Open full text 1 citations

Abstract

Despite the benefits of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery, 15% to 25% of patients develop graft closure within one year following the procedure. The patency rate of grafts mainly predicts both the short- and long-term benefit from surgery. Here we report a patient diagnosed as acute coronary syndrome five months after surgery with significant stenosis of multiple saphenous vein grafts. J Med Cases. 2011;2(5):206-209 doi: https://doi.org/10.4021/jmc248e
