Vein graft disease is a condition that often arises after coronary artery bypass surgery, where a vein from the patient's leg is used to create a bypass around a blocked coronary artery. Over time, these grafts can undergo pathological changes, leading to the development of vein graft disease. The process involves a series of complex events, including inflammation, oxidative stress, and the formation of atherosclerotic plaques within the graft. As vein graft disease progresses, it can compromise blood flow to the heart, ultimately impacting the success of the bypass procedure. Researchers and clinicians focus on understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying vein graft disease to develop strategies for prevention and intervention, aiming to improve the long-term outcomes of coronary artery bypass grafting procedures.
