Low wall shear stress predicts subsequent development of wall hypertrophy in lower limb bypass grafts
Background: Venous grafts commonly develop myointimal hyperplasia, which can lead to stenoses and, ultimately, with expression of adhesion molecules, lumenal occlusion. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether wall shear stress measured post-operatively would predict subsequent myoint...
