2 Fig 1 Changes in vein graft index segment lumen diameter from 0 to 12 months. The average percentage change in lumen diameter was +24% ± 27% in the first postoperative month, dropping to ∼ 0% change after 3 months.

3 Fig 2 Vein graft index segment lumen diameter is associated with (A) race and (B) high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) level. Values shown represent the mean ± standard error of the mean (error bars) diameter at each assessment. A, During the 12-month study period, vein grafts of nonwhite participants had significantly smaller lumen diameters by random-effects model (−0.9 mm; 95% confidence interval [CI], −1.5 to −0.34 mm; P = .002). B, Similarly, participants with a baseline hsCRP ≥5 mg/L had significantly smaller vein graft lumen diameters by random-effects model (−0.5 mm; 95% CI, −0.98 to −0.012 mm; P = .045).

4 Fig 3 Index segment lumen diameter based on eventual loss of primary patency. Values shown represent the mean diameter ± standard error of the mean (error bars) at each interval. Although starting at a similar size as those that remained patent, vein grafts that eventually lost primary patency had a significantly smaller lumen diameter over time by random-effects model (−0.5 mm; 95% confidence interval [CI], −1.0 to −0.052 mm; P = .03).
