2 Fig. 1 THP-1 adhesion to vein segments from lower-extremity bypass procedures. There is a significant increase in monocyte adhesion to the V2 segments that were subjected to surgical manipulation and brief arterialization. SVG , Saphenous vein graft.

3 Fig. 2 Immunohistochemical staining for Fg on vein segments from lower-extremity grafting procedures. No staining was noted in unmanipulated V1 segments (right ). V2 segments demonstrated diffuse areas of luminal staining (left ).

4 Fig. 3 Graft occlusions at 1 year versus monocyte adhesion; the median value of monocyte adhesion (V2 values) for the grafts that remained patent at 1 year was 3892 cell/cm2 versus 6234 cell/cm2 for the occluded grafts (P =.07).
