2 Fig 1 Vein graft diameter before and after release of arterial clamps at the time of the initial procedure. PTP, Photochemical tissue passivation; RB, rose bengal. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2015 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

3 Fig 2 Photochemical tissue passivation (PTP)-treated vein (left) and untreated control vein (right) after clamp release. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2015 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

4 Fig 3 Comparison of a photochemical tissue passivation (PTP)-treated vein (left) and untreated control vein (right) fixed 1 hour after placement of vein graft, stained with Verhoeff-van Gieson stain. The untreated control vein is excessively dilated and shows interruption of endothelium and distortion of intima, media, and adventitia. The PTP-treated vein is not excessively distended and demonstrates normal architecture. Scale bar = 0.25 mm.

6 Fig 5 Representative histologic section of an untreated control vein (left column), rose bengal (RB, no light)-treated vein (middle column), and photochemical tissue passivation (PTP)-treated vein (right column) after 4 weeks. Note the substantially increased intimal thickness in the untreated control and RB (no light) veins compared with the PTP-treated vein. Scale bar = 0.25 mm.
