Saphenous veins grafts (SVGs) continue to be used as conduits for coronary bypass surgery in nearly 350,000 patients annually in the United States. A possible genetic contribution to SVG longevity has not been well studied. We analyzed 168 single nucleotide polymorphisms from 150 candidate genes in 155 patients (2.1 SVGs/patient) followed for 10 +/- 4 years who underwent coronary angiography for clinical indications. Age at coronary bypass was 54 +/- 8 years, 61% were men, and 39% had diabetes mellitus. At the time of study entry, 76% were on statins. SVG patency (< 70% diameter stenosis, no intervention), the primary study end point, was 60% at 5 years and 19% at 10 years. After adjustment for other factors associated with SVG patency (male gender, p = 0.007; low low-density lipoprotein, p = 0.016), 7 polymorphisms in 5 genes were associated with SVG patency (p < 0.01). In conclusion, these data represent an initial step toward the use of a personalized genetic approach to coronary revascularization. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
