Your body has a network of blood vessels over 60,000 miles in length. This amazing circulatory system includes three types of blood vessels — arteries, veins, and capillaries.

The difference of the wall-to-lumen ratio between the inner and outer walls was ~0.05 in both artery and vein. All parameters were the same between the right and left eyes.

Discover how intraoperative TEVAR pressure changes influence false lumen risk in aortic dissection—keep reading for clinical insights.

A total of 1036 patients were included in the analysis (534 patients with radial-artery grafts and 502 patients with saphenous-vein grafts). After a mean (±SD) follow-up time of 60±30 months ...

Angiography was performed at one year in 440 patients: 8.2 percent of radial-artery grafts and 13.6 percent of saphenous-vein grafts were completely occluded (P=0.009). Diffuse narrowing of the ...

Clogged arteries result from a buildup of a substance called plaque on the inner walls of the arteries. Arterial plaque can reduce blood flow or, in some instances, block it altogether.

Importantly, because available DES are designed for use in coronary vessels and are smaller than BMS, postprocedural lumen diameter in DES-treated veins was smaller than in BMS-treated veins (P = 0.04 ...

So in each case, it's a selection process that has to be made tailored to the patient's specific characteristics, whether we use veins, arteries, and how much of each we use.
