Fig. 1 Primary and secondary graft patency rate of all grafts.
Primary patency rate is 76%, 65%, 47% and 33% and secondary patency rate is 83%, 71%, 58% and 41% at 2, 5, 10 and 15 year after bypass surgery, respectively.
 
Table 1 Univariate analysis of perioperative risk factors affecting primary graft patency. The figure in a parenthesis means year of the longest observation after surgery.
 
Table 2 Comparison of graft patency rate between autogenous vein graft and EXS with regard in positive risk factors.
 
Fig. 2 Patency rate of failing graft and failed graft after revision surgery.
Patency rate of failing graft vs. failed graft is 73 vs. 56%, 59 vs. 49%, 49 vs. 49% at 1, 2 and 5 year, respectively. There is no significant difference. (p = 0.4381)
