Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) most often used in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are subject to graft disease and have poor long-term patency, however the clinical implication of this is not completely known. We aim to assess the influence of graft failure on the postoperative recurrence of coronary artery disease (CAD) symptoms in relation to the contribution from progression of atherosclerosis in the native coronary vessels. DESIGN: Within the SWEDEHEART registry we identified 46,663 CABG cases between 2001 and 2015 with patient age 40-80 years where single internal mammary artery (IMA) anastomosis (IMA), single IMA with one (1SVG) or multiple SVG anastomoses (2+ SVG) had been performed. Clinical characteristics as well as mortality and postoperative incidence of coronary angiography were recorded and multivariable adjusted hazard ratios were calculated. Indications for the angiographies and occurrence of graft failure were also registered. RESULTS: The adjusted hazard ratio for death was similar for the three groups. The adjusted hazard ratio for being submitted to angiography as compared to 2+ SVG was (95% CI) 1.24 (1.06-1.46) for IMA and 1.21 (1.15-1.28) for 1SVG. Failed grafts were found at the first postoperative angiography with preceding CAD symptoms in 21.4% of patients in the IMA group, 41.6% in the 1SVG group and 61.1% in the 2+ SVG group. CONCLUSIONS: A substantial amount of angiographies occur in patients without any graft failure and a large part of postoperative recurrence of CAD symptoms and are likely attributed to IMA failure or progression of atherosclerosis in the native coronary arteries.
