Long-term performance of an external stent for saphenous vein grafts: the VEST IV trial

Abstract Background Externally stenting saphenous vein grafts reduces intimal hyperplasia, improves lumen uniformity and reduces oscillatory shear stress 1 year following surgery. The present study is the first to present the longer-term (4.5 years) performance and biomechanical effects of externall...
