Long-term patency of human saphenous veins (HSVs) used as autologous conduits for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedures remains limited because of vein graft failure (VGF). Vein graft failure has been reported to be as high as 45% at 12 to 18 months after surgery and leads to additional surgery, myocardial infarction, recurrent angina, and death. Preparation of HSVs before implantation leads to conduit injury, which may promote VGF.
