Venous external support enhanced coronary artery bypass grafting: a multicentric cohort experience
VEST-enhanced CABG is feasible and associated with low MACCE in real world routine practice which includes on and off pump CABG, sequential grafting, and concomitant surgery. Short- to mid-term clinical follow up suggests that VEST enhanced CABG is associated with very low target vessel revascularization rates, with most re-revascularization happening at non-grafted or non-VEST-enhanced grafted territories.
