Article Abstract
Background: Saphenous vein grafts (SVG) are the most commonly used conduits in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Graft failure is observed in up to 50% of SVG at 10 years after surgery. Whether a difference in SVG patency rates exists between men and women remains unclear.
Methods: We performed a study-level meta-analysis to evaluate sex-related differences in follow-up patency rates of SVG after CABG. A systematic literature search was conducted to identify studies on CABG that reported follow-up SVG patency rates in men and women. The primary outcome was SVG patency rates by sex at follow-up.
Results: Seventeen studies totaling 8235 patients and 14,781 SVG grafts were included. There was no significant difference in follow-up SVG patency rates between men and women (incidence rate ratio 0.96, 95% confidence interval 0.90-1.03, p = .24), with mean angiographic follow-up of 33.5 months (standard deviation 29.2). Leave-one-out and cumulative analysis were consistent with the main analysis. We concluded that follow-up SVG patency rate is similar between men and women undergoing CABG.

Background: Saphenous vein graft (SVG) failure remains a substantial challenge after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) is a causal risk factor for atherosclerosis, but its role in SVG failure is not well established. We evaluated whether early initiation of intensive LDL-C lowering with evolocumab could reduce SVG failure.

A 54-year-old woman was incidentally diagnosed with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery( ALCAPA) during a pre-treatment screening computed tomography( CT) scan for alopecia areata. She had no cardiac symptoms, but cardiac magnetic resonance imaging( MRI) revealed late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in the mid-anterior wall of the left ventricle, indicating myocardial ischemia. Median sternotomy was performed, with the left main trunk (LMT) was transected from the main pulmonary artery.

Introduction: Trauma to the extremities is a common injury that demands a comprehensive evaluation of vascular structures. Prompt identification and timely intervention improve clinical outcomes; severe injuries frequently lead to complications and potential limb loss. Revascularization delays greater than 8 h post-injury markedly increase amputation risk.

Background & Aim: Conventional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedures typically utilise the left internal mammary artery and supplementary saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) to re-establish adequate coronary blood flow to ischaemic territories. However, extensive observational studies have consistently demonstrated that SVGs are prone to accelerated atherosclerosis and progressive failure compared to arterial conduits. These limitations have heightened interest in total arterial revascularisation (TAR) as a potentially superior strategy.
