ABSTRACT
Despite the fact that the patency rate of saphenous vein graft(SVG) is less than those of arterial grafts,SVG is fully appreciated by cardiac surgeons and remains the most widely-used conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG).Recently,thanks to the growing understanding of the pathogenesis of vein graft failure(VGF),the emergence of new drugs and the improvement of surgical techniques,the patency rate of SVG has been well improved.This article reviews the history and the current understanding of SVG,the pathogenesis of VGF,the clinical strategies that may improve the patency rate and the research prospects in this filed.
