Implication
Late saphenous vein graft occlusion lacks proven preventive strategies; leaves open mechanistic research into smooth muscle proliferation.

Optimization of surgical techniques and antithrombotic treatments
O
Outcome
Saphenous vein graft occlusion (early and late)
Late saphenous vein graft occlusion remains a significant clinical problem without effective surgical or pharmacological preventive strategies, highlighting the need to understand underlying mechanisms like smooth muscle cell proliferation.
