Intraluminal Stents in Coronary Bypass Grafts

Abstract

The number of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting has increased dramatically over the past 15 years in the United States and in Europe [1], and in Switzerland alone over 3600 bypass operations were performed in 1990 [2]. Angiographically, 11%–25% of vein grafts are occluded at 1 year [3, 4]; 11 years after surgery 40% of vein grafts are occluded, and 46% have severe atherosclerosis [5]. As a consequence, symptoms reccur in 7% of patients annually [6], and such patients constitute a sizable proportion of any cardiology practice. There are, however, only few data on what constitutes optimal management for them, and the relative merits of medical treatment, transluminal angioplasty, and repeat surgery have not been established unequivocally [5].
