To study the prevention of occlusion of aorto-coronary-artery bypass grafts, a prospective, randomized, double-blind trial was conducted comparing long-term administration of dipyridamole (begun 2 days before operation) plus aspirin (begun 7 h after operation) with placebo in 407 patients. Results at 1 mo. showed a reduction in the rate of graft occlusion in patients receiving dipyridamole and aspirin. At vein-graft angiography performed in 343 patients (84%) 11-18 mo. (median, 12 mo.) after operation, 11% of 478 vein-graft distal anastomoses were occluded in the treated group, and 25% of 486 were occluded in the placebo group. The proportion of patients with one or more distal anastomoses occluded was 22% of 171 patients in the treated group and 47% of 172 in the placebo group. All grafts were patent within a mo. of operation in 94 patients in the placebo group and 116 patients in the treated group; late development of occlusions was reduced from 27% in the placebo group to 16% in the treated group. Dipyridamole and aspirin are evidently effective in preventing vein-graft occlusion late after operation, and such treatment should apparently be continued for at least 1 yr.
