DOI: 10.1007/s11748-021-01608-2
Abstract: Bypass for moderately stenosed coronary arteries may cause graft failure (string phenomenon or occlusion). We examined the effects of fractional flow reserve (FFR) on the efficacy of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in preventing graft… read more here.

DOI: 10.1053/j.semtcvs.2021.02.002
Abstract: It has been well documented that the use of the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) to graft the left anterior descending (LAD) artery has a significant benefit in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/1708538118807844
Abstract: Objectives Arteriovenous graft for hemodialysis shows poorer outcomes than arteriovenous fistula, due to frequent stenosis and thrombosis. We investigated arteriovenous graft patency outcomes and prognostic factors for these outcomes. Methods We included a single-center cohort… read more here.

DOI: 10.21037/acs.2018.07.05
Abstract: Background Saphenous vein grafts (SVG) are a commonly used conduit for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and can be harvested by either an open or endoscopic technique. Our goal was to evaluate long-term angiographic… read more here.
