Saphenous vein valve assessment utilizing upright CT to potentially improve graft assessment for bypass surgery

Abstract Saphenous veins (SVs) are frequently employed as bypass grafts. The SV graft failure is predominantly seen at the valve site. Avoiding valves during vein harvest would help reduce graft failure. We endeavored to detect SV valves, tributaries, and vessel size employing upright computed tomog...
