External stenting ofvein gras in coronary artery bypass grasurgery
David P. Taggart
Introduction
e use of external stents to support vein gras placed into the ar­terial circulation was rst proposed by Parsonnet and colleagues in 1963 using a carotid artery model. e rationale was to reduce the diameter mismatch between the vein gra and the artery and to minimize vein dilatation when subjected to higher ow and pressure in the arterial system, thereby reducing the risk of intimal damage and thrombosis. e role of external stents has been reviewed extensively.
Experimentalstudies
Parsonnet etal. used a monolament knitted gra to cover a seg­ment of jugular vein used to replace the common carotid artery of dogs and reported that the external stent limited the dilatation of the vein gra and had an angiographic patency rate of 97% at 2months. Subsequent experimental studies (Karayannacos etal. in 1978) reported that external stents reduced intimal hyperplasia and preserved the vasa vasora in the gra wall and similar results were subsequently reported in several well- designed controlled studies by Angelini and colleagues and Zilla and colleagues.
e mechanisms of vein gra failure are discussed extensively in other chapters but as early gra failure is predominantly due to inadequate surgical harvesting techniques or technical errors during implantation, the postulated benet of external supports is likely to be on gra failure over the mid to long term. Animal models have suggested a large and diverse number of potential physiological benets of external stents including improved bio­mechanical properties that mitigate vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration and promoting neovascularization of the adventitia.
However, animal studies using carotid or femoral artery interpos­ition techniques may not be representative of the coronary artery cir­culation and coronary artery bypass graing (CABG). Consequently, Ben- Gal and colleagues performed a CABG proof- of- principle
randomized controlled study of an external stent on vein gras to the le anterior descending and circumex coronary arteries in 14 sheep and reported that at 12 weeks there was a signicantly lower level of gra non- uniformity, intimal hyperplasia, and gra throm­bosis in the externally stented vein gras.
Clinicalstudies
Despite an abundance of animal data reporting a potential benet of external supports for vein gras in improving saphenous vein gra (SVG) patency, until relatively recently there was little supportive clinical data. In 1986, Barra and colleagues conducted a small clin­ical study of four patients and demonstrated patency of the four gras on angiographic follow- up at 2months. In 2007, a randomized trial of a macro- porous Dacron® sheath (Fig. 31.1a) in 20 patients re­ported angiographic thrombosis of all stents and the technique was abandoned.
Subsequently two far more technologically sophisticated stents (Fig. 31.1b,c) (eSVS® mesh (Kipsbay Medical Inc., MN, USA) and the VEST® stent (Vascular Gra Solutions, Tel Aviv, Israel) were tri­alled in clinical practice. e eSVS® mesh is composed of an elastic nitinol knit that reduces the gra external diameter by 25%, and requires xation by glue and incorporation of the stent into the anastomoses. Several studies have reported low angiographic pa­tency rates in the region of 30% at 1year., However a number of important lessons were learnt from these studies including the importance of avoiding over- constriction of the vein gras, incorp­orating the stent into the proximal or distal anastomoses, and the use of brin glue.
A few years later, the VEST® external stent was investigated in a clinical trial. VEST® consists of a cobalt- chrome braid with axial plas­ticity (allowing elongation) and radial elasticity (making the stent kink and crush resistant). Following the initial favourable results of the VEST® device in the sheep model, the rst in- human trial was performed by Taggart and colleagues. In the venous external sup­port trial (VEST), 30 patients were randomized to receive one SVG supported by the device and a second vein gra to act as a control. e primary end point demonstrated a signicant decrease in mean

intimal– medial area between the stented and unstented groups (P=0.04) with a small decrease in intimal thickness (P=0.06) at 12months of follow- up.
e overall patency at 1year was 70% for the stented gras and 72% for the control gras and with patent stented gras having a much higher Fitzgibbon perfect patency (80% vs 50%) (Fig. 31.2). ere was a signicantly lower gra failure with stenting in gras to the circumex territory (18% in the stented group vs 28% in the unstented group; P=0.01), but an increase in failure of stented gras to the right coronary territory (46% vs 13%; P=0.01). As transit time ow measurements had been satisfactory in all gras prior to sternal closure, it was hypothesized that gra failure may have been due to xation of the device to the proximal and/ or distal anasto­moses whose geometry then altered with chest closure, particularly those on the right side because of the acute margin of the heart. Furthermore, a lower occlusion rate was observed when sutures rather than metallic clips had been used to occlude vein gra side branches implying that metallic clips may have caused vessel dis­tortion within the stent especially on the right side. Intravascular ultrasonography also showed that sutures compared to metal clips reduced overall plaque thickness (P=0.04), and area (P=0.05).
In this same cohort, computational uid dynamic analysis re­ported increased laminar and less turbulent blood ow (Fig. 31.3) and a signicant reduction in mean oscillatory shear index in the

stented group that correlated with a reduction in intimal hyperplasia (P=0.01, n=43).
Finally, a further analysis of optical coherence tomography showed that the mean lumen cross- sectional area was lower in the stented gras than in the control gras (P=0.005), accompanied by greater uniformity and similar to the preclinical ndings, an absence of any sign of thrombus (Fig. 31.4).
e results of the VEST trial led to the establishment of the VEST II study, in which clip ligation of side branches and xation of the stent to the proximal or distal anastomoses of gras to the right cor­onary artery were avoided. At 3– 6months, postoperative angiog­raphy showed the patency rate of stented SVGs to the right coronary artery improved to 86%, comparable to published historical data for unstented SVGs to the same territory.
In VEST IV, 21 stented and 29 control SVGs from VEST Iunderwent angiography and ultrasound at approximately 5years. Overall, vein gra failure rates were comparable between stented and control gras (30% and 23% respectively; P=0.42). with all failures having been present at 1year except for one additional control failure. In patent vein gras, Fitzgibbon perfect patency remained signicantly higher in the stented versus control gras as shown in 81% and 48% respectively (P=0.002), while intimal hyperplasia area and thickness were signicantly reduced (Fig.
31.5). Intimal hyperplasia proliferation correlated with lumen

Ongoingstudies
e results of previous studies involving the VEST® device have led to the establishment of two further trials that have now completed enrolment:VEST III (ClinicalTrials.gov identier:NCT02511834) is a 184- patient European multicentre study and VEST PIVOTAL (ClinicalTrials.gov identier:NCT03209609) is a 224- patient study
in the United States approved by the Food and Drug Administration. e nal results are expected in 2020.
Further potential benefits ofexternalstenting
External stents may allow the use of conduits that would have previ­ously been deemed unsuitable for surgery. Zurbrügg and colleagues reported the use of an external ultrane constrictive metal mesh to generate ‘biocompound’ gras with varicose vein tissue., ey demonstrated that such gras had favourable patency rates aer

Revascularization using the saphenous vein asa compositegra
Ki- Bong Kim
Introduction
e saphenous vein (SV) conduit has been used as an aortocoronary bypass gra in almost all previous studies, and its use as a composite gra was reserved for patients with diusely atherosclerotic or cal­cied ascending aorta to minimize ascending aorta manipulation and to reduce the risk of neurological injury., Previous studies describing the use of the SV composite gra based on the in situ le internal thoracic artery (ITA) demonstrated conicting results  although revascularization strategies using the arterial composite gras have been demonstrated to be a safe and ecient method for revascularization. One study, which included 25 patients who re­ceived an SV composite gra based on the le ITA, recommended against the use of a SV composite gra because it could steal ow from the le ITA conduit and lead to suboptimal short- term ITA patency results (patency rates of SV and ITA conduits, 96% and 76% at a mean 2.5years, respectively). Other studies demonstrated com­parable haemodynamic and early patency results between SV versus right ITA composite gras based on the in situ le ITA., Of various eorts to overcome the limitations of SV that result from inherent anatomical/ structural and functional dierences between SV and arterial conduits, recent improvement in harvesting techniques in­cluding no- touch technique and a surgical strategy of using the SV as a composite gra rather than an aortocoronary bypass gra may improve long- term patency of SV conduits in coronary artery by­pass graing (CABG).
The no- touch technique forsaphenous veinharvesting
e no- touch technique of SV harvesting with or without sur­rounding pedicle tissue, in which the manipulation and tension of the SV are minimized and manual intraluminal dilatation is avoided during harvest, has been suggested to overcome the limitations of SV conduits.–  e no- touch technique with surrounding fat ped­icle tissue, introduced in 1996, protects the vein from direct handling
that causes injury and spasm. Preservation of the surrounding cushion of fat may reduce medial ischaemia by maintaining the vasa vasorum,, provide various vasodilators and adipokines including nitric oxide, and act as an external biological stent. Although the no- touch technique with surrounding fat pedicle demonstrated im­proved patency, it may have a high risk of SV wound complications. In the no- touch technique without surrounding pedicle tissue, the so- called minimal manipulation technique, the SV was gently separ-
ated from the bed using scissors, leaving perivascular scanty adipose tissue in place; the manipulation and tension of the SV also were minimized and manual intraluminal dilatation was avoided during harvest. e no- touch technique without surrounding pedicle tissue was shown immunohistochemically to be benecial in pre­serving endothelial structure and function, and showed a low risk of SV wound complication.
The saphenous vein asa composite graft based onthe internal thoracicartery
One intraoperative haemodynamic study measured gra ow using transit time owmetry at baseline and during dobutamine­induced stress in patients who received SV composite gras based on the in situ le ITA, and demonstrated that both the le ITA and SV showed physiological adaptability according to myocardial de­mand. Another study, which performed serial quantitative cor­onary angiograms early and 1year aer CABG and also performed an intravascular ultrasonographic study of the proximal le ITA and SV conduits during the 1- year angiography, revealed that the SV lumen diameter decreased signicantly without accompanying ab­normal intima– media thickening during the rst year aer CABG (Fig. 32.1). In a randomized trial, the SV composite gras were non- inferior to the right ITA composite gras in terms of 1- year angiographic patency rates (SV vs right ITA, 97.1% (238/ 245) vs
97.1% (198/ 204); P=0.958) and overall survival and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events- free rates up to 4years aer sur­gery. eoretical advantages of SV composite gra based on the

in situ le ITA over an aortocoronary bypass gra include (1)the SV conduit anastomosed to the le ITA is exposed to less haemo­dynamic pulse pressure stress (dP/ dT) than a conduit anastomosed to the ascending aorta; (2)the SV composite gra is continuously ex­posed to endothelium- protective substances such as nitric oxide re­leased from the le ITA; (3)the length of the SV needed to reach the target vessel is shorter than that of an aortocoronary SV gra, espe­cially when using a sequential anastomosis technique; and (4)com­plications such as embolic stroke and aortic dissection are known to be reduced by avoiding aortic clamping for proximal anastomosis. Additional benets of SV composite gras compared with bilat­eral ITA composite gras are (1)the right ITA, oen considered the second conduit of choice aer the le ITA, is reserved for possible later redo CABG; and (2)the risk of perioperative morbidity, such as sternal infection, which can occur aer bilateral ITA use, is de­creased. ere are still concerns about long- term patency of the SV composite gra because of the pathological changes in SV conduits, such as neointimal hyperplasia and atherosclerosis, which evolve very slowly several years postoperatively. e follow- up study of a randomized trial demonstrated that the clinical results of CABG using SV composite gras showed no statistically signicant dif­ferences compared with those of CABG using right ITA composite gras up to 8years aer surgery in terms of overall survival and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events- free survival. e 5- year occlusion rate of the SV composite gras was 4.3% and was non- inferior to that of the right ITA composite gras (2.4%) (P <0.001 for non- inferiority) (Fig. 32.2). However, long- term angio­graphic and clinical follow- up may be needed to demonstrate that the advantages of SV composite graing are sucient to overcome the previously published advantages of the right ITA over the SV as an additional conduit.
