Abstract excerpt
Aortocoronary bypass conduits derived from saphenous veins usually develop diffuse intimal thickening, one of the major causes of haemodynamically relevant graft stenosis. To elucidate the role of smooth muscle cell proliferation in late graft failure, specimens from highly stenotic or occluded vein grafts implanted into the arterial circulation for more than 5 years were tested for their expression rate of...
