Does saphenous vein bypass graft operation improve left ventricular haemodynamics during exercise in patients with coronary artery disease and angina pectoris?
Saphenous vein bypass grafting for angina pectoris improves exercise left ventricular hemodynamics early postoperatively in the majority of patients with patent grafts.
