Abstract excerpt
This is a prospective study of the relationship between graft preparation technique and the subsequent morphologic fate of vein grafts. Paired vein grafts (optimal vs injury prepared) were placed in a canine model and removed over time. Vein grafts intentionally injured by warm saline storage demonstrated endothelial and smooth muscle cell damage. In the acute postimplantation period, platelet adhesion and white...
