Abstract
To test the hypothesis that the venous graft when implanted in an arterial bypass might endure a fast infiltra-tion/accumulation of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) within the vessel and hence the accelerated atherogenesis. we meas-ured measured DiI-LDLs uptake by both arteries and veins under arterial condition. The experimental results showed that that the amount of DiI-LDLs uptake by the venous wall was much higher compared with arterial wall, which was con-sistent with our hypothesis.
