Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We studied 1,267 patients with 2,186 saphenous vein graft (SVG) lesions to determine the time course of target lesion revascularization (TLR) after successful SVG angioplasty. We found that the time course of TLR in SVG appears prolonged, with only 54% occurring within the first 6 months and continued TLR even after 1 year.
