Key result
Venous autograft reconstruction for coronary disease yields ~86% graft patency alongside low overall mortality.
Why the study?
Venous autograft reconstruction for occlusive coronary artery disease was performed with evolving experience to improve myocardial perfusion and reduce mortality.

Does venous autograft reconstruction improve outcomes in patients with occlusive coronary artery disease?
Venous autograft reconstruction for occlusive coronary artery disease demonstrates acceptable mortality and high graft patency rates at 1 year.
W. C. Sheldon (1970) conducted an observational in Occlusive coronary artery disease (n=303). Venous autograft reconstructions was evaluated on Overall mortality. Venous autograft reconstructions for occlusive coronary artery disease had an overall mortality of 5.6% and demonstrated 86% graft patency among evaluated survivors.
