Abstract
Pathological changes in aortocoronary vein grafts were investigated in 17 patients who had a second revascularization procedure 1 to 53 1/2 months after their initial operation. Subendothelial proliferation was present in all grafts and had resulted in total occlusion of 7. With increasing duration of implantation the proliferative lesions tended to show hyalinization and to affect the media. Advanced atherosclerosis had developed in 2 grafts.Entities:
