Saphenous vein graft (SVG) is the most common conduit used for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Unfortunately, SVG are associated with poor long-term patency rates; a significant predictor of re-operation rates and survival. As such, medical therapy to prevent narrowing or occlusion paramount importance. Aspirin (ASA) monotherapy standard care after CABG, improve major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) patency. Benefits dual antiplatelet (DAPT) have not been well...
