The saphenous vein has been the traditional conduit for elective myocardial revascularization. Although readily available and adaptable to many configurations around the heart, it is prone to intimal hyperplasia and vein graft atherosclerosis, which diminish long-term patency and relief of symptoms. The internal mammary artery graft represents a marked improvement over the saphenous vein graft in many respects. Data are presented comparing saphenous vein graft patency with that of the internal mammary artery, bilateral internal mammary artery, free internal mammary artery, and sequential internal mammary artery grafts.
大隐静脉一直是择期心肌血运重建的传统管道。尽管它易于获取且能适应心脏周围的多种构型，但其易于发生内膜增生和静脉移植物动脉粥样硬化，这会降低长期通畅率并减轻症状。在许多方面，乳内动脉移植物相较于大隐静脉移植物有显著改善。本文给出了比较大隐静脉移植物通畅率与乳内动脉、双侧乳内动脉、游离乳内动脉及序贯乳内动脉移植物通畅率的数据。
