Coronary artery bypass with glycerol-preserved saphenous vein allografts

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Over a 2-year period, 19 patients whose autologous saphenous veins were either unsuitable or unavailable underwent myocardial revascularization with saphenous vein allografts (SVAs) at our institution. All SVAs had been preserved in 98% glycerol at room temperature for at least 3 weeks (average, 7 weeks); before use, they were rinsed with saline and antibiotic solution.
