Fig 1 Flow chart of the 561 patients. One hundred sixty-three patients had thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) 3 flow of both radial artery (RA) and saphenous vein (SV) grafts by late invasive angiography (n = 234) at a mean 7.5 ± 1.3 years postoperatively.

Fig 2 Major adverse cardiac events (MACE)-free survival. The log-rank p value is testing for statistical significance of the MACE curves between patients with and those without graft stenosis. MACE is defined as cardiac death, late myocardial infarction (MI), or repeated revascularization.
