OBJECTIVE: To study the time taken for venous grafts to occlude or stenose after CABG in symptomatic patients.

METHODOLOGY: One hundred post-CABG patients admitted in cardiology ward with symptoms of myocardial ischemia proceeding for coronary angiography were enrolled in the study. After taking history and clinical examination, the coronary angiography was done.
RESULTS: Out of these 100 patients, 86 (86%) were males and 14 (14%) were females between 38-80 years of age. 53.3% of the grafts were patent in 6 months to 5 years duration after CABG. 21.4% grafts were patent in >10 years duration after CABG.
