The Effect of Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Coronary Atherosclerosis Severity on Long Term Graft Patency Rate in Patients Who Underwent Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

Introduction: The postoperative success of coronary artery bypass grafting depends on graft patency rate. The atherosclerotic process goes on in native arteries and bypass grafts of patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of preoperative cardiovascular risk factors and the extensity of atherosclerosis detected by coronary angiography on long-term graft survival after the operation.
