Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the no-touch saphenous vein grafts that were used in coronary artery bypass surgery between 2003-2008 had a patency rate comparable to the left internal thoracic artery when the vein grafts were anatomised to the left anterior descending artery.
