Impact of Age on Endothelial Function of Saphenous Vein Grafts in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Impact of Age on Endothelial Function of Saphenous Vein Grafts in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Background: An intact and functionally preserved endothelial layer in the graft is crucial for myocardial perfusion and graft patency after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We hypothesized that old age is a risk factor for decreased endothelial function of bypass grafts. Thus, we investigated...
