Fig. 1 Cumulative life-table secondary patency rates for in situ and reversed vein grafts. Standard error is represented by the vertical bars. No statistically significant patency difference was found between the two types of grafts (p >0.75).

Fig. 2 Cumulative life-table secondary patency rates for in situ and reversed vein grafts ≤3.0 mm in MDD. Standard error is represented by the vertical bars. The patency difference between the two types of grafts was not statistically significant (p > 0.50).

Fig. 3 Arteriograms demonstrating the development of hyperplasia and marked narrowing of the lumen over the entire length of an in situ vein graft. Left: intraoperative. Right: 6 months after operation. Histologic examination of this graft 1 month later revealed diffuse intimal and subintimal fibrosis and hyperplasia.
