Brief Summary
Coronary artery disease is one of the biggest health issue worldwide.The treatment, in a large part of the patients, implicates a so called bypass-operation, that consists in to connect new vascular conduits (grafts) beyond the narrowed coronary vessels to improve the blood supply to the heart. One of the graft that is commonly used is the saphenous vein from the leg. The disadvantage of the saphenous vein graft is the predisposition to early obstruction. The international literature shows the following grades of occlusion: 15% in the first year and 40% after 10 year. At the Cardio-Thoracic Clinic of the University hospital of Örebro has been developed a new method to harvest the saphenous vein together with the surrounding fat-tissue. This technique, called no-touch technique, has the advantage to reduce the damages to the vein during the harvesting, showing a substantially reduced risk for future occlusion (5% after 18 months and 10% after 8,5 years). The aim of the PhD project is to evaluate the results of the no-touch technique in compare to the conventional technique for the venous graft harvesting. The focus of the study is to analyse all the operated patients in our clinic who underwent a post-operative coronary angiography do to angina pectoris (heart pain). All the patients who received a stent during the post-operative angiography will be analysed in detail and one will compare the occlusion grade and the rate of major adverse cardiac events (MACE). This study is the first and the only one in the world that will examine the long-term results of the no-touch technique in particular after the stenting of the venous graft.

Study Arms (2)
No-touch
Participants that operated at the time of the coronary artery bypass grafting with a "no-touch" venous graft.
Conventional
Participants that operated at the time of the coronary artery bypass grafting with a "conventional" venous graft.
Interventions
Participants are treated with a PCI and stent implantation in a venous graft (previously implanted during the CABG operation)
Eligibility Criteria
All the subjects that previously were operated with a coronary artery bypass grafting at the Cardiothoracic department of the University hospital of Orebro (from the 1992 until 30th June 2020) and that underwent a percutaneous coronary intervention in a venous graft between January the 1st, 2006 and June the 30th, 2020.
You may qualify if:
- Participants previously operated with a coronary artery bypass grafting at the Cardiothoracic department of the University hospital of Orebro
- Participants that underwent a percutaneous coronary intervention in a venous graft
You may not qualify if:
- percutaneous coronary intervention within 30 days from the primary operation
