Key Points

Examine the emerging mechanistic roles of fibroblasts as dynamic cellular coordinators during vein graft adaptation and remodeling.
Perspectives and literature review on vascular fibroblast signaling, phenotypic transition, and extracellular matrix deposition in vein grafts.
Positions fibroblasts as active orchestrators of tissue adaptation rather than passive structural elements following vein transplantation.
Identifies fibroblast-driven signaling cascades and matrix turnover as critical determinants of vascular remodeling and graft patency.
