Abstract:
In the VEST IV trial, the author concluded that external stenting of saphenous vein graft mitigates its remodeling and also significantly reduces the diffuse intimal hyperplasia and development of lumen irregularities at 4.5 years after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. We also have valuable a suggestion in addition to external stenting that might nullify the pathology caused by the stent and might enhances graft patency.
