The PROCTOR trial randomized 220 post-coronary artery bypass grafting patients with saphenous vein graft (SVG) failure to native vessel percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (n=108) or SVG PCI (n=112). At one-year, major adverse cardiac events occurred in 34 percent with native PCI vs 19 percent with SVG PCI (HR 2.14; P=0.006).
