OCT imaging of aorto-coronary vein graft pathology modified by external stenting: 1-year post-surgery

Conclusion
Our findings highlight the early changes occurring in SVGs after implantation of aorto-coronary bypass conduits, changes that may accelerate vein graft failure. External stenting resulted in a more homogeneous and less eccentric lumen with no thrombus formation.
