Özet

Variations in vascular reactivity and morphology of proximal and distal saphenous vein might affect its performance as a bypass conduit. Because peri- or postoperative graft spasm or intimal hyperplasia reduces patency, we compared the reactivity and morphology of human proximal and distal saphenous vein conduits.
