Case Report (n=1)
This report describes the first successful case of a saphenous vein-coronary artery bypass with a 7-year follow-up demonstrating continued graft function.
George P. Noon (2009) conducted a case report in Coronary artery occlusive disease and angina pectoris (n=1). Autogenous saphenous vein bypass was evaluated. An autogenous saphenous vein bypass graft functioned with normal left ventricular hemodynamics 7 years post-operation despite progression of native coronary artery disease.
