Prospective study reveals acute manipulation of saphenous vein grafts alters histopathology, suggesting mTOR signaling may not play a role.

Acute manipulation of saphenous vein grafts leads to significant endothelial injury.
Post-preparation samples showed endothelial disruption and inflammatory infiltration.
Assessment used included light microscopy and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for mTOR levels.
Findings suggest mTOR does not contribute to immediate responses during graft preparation.

Cihan et al. (2025) studied this question.
