Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) is associated with an increased risk of complications, particularly no‑reflow phenomenon and distal embolization due to low patency rates. The CHA2DS2‑VASc score is a clinical risk stratification tool used to predict thromboembolism events especially in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.
