Atherosclerosis and late closure of aortocoronary saphenous vein grafts: sequential angiographic studies at 2 weeks, 1 year, 5 to 7 years, and 10 to 12 years after surgery.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Fibrinogen binding to the active conformation of the alpha(IIb)beta(3) integrin receptor (glycoprotein IIb/IIIa) and cytoskeletal reorganization are important events in platelet function. Tyrosine phosphorylation of platelet proteins plays an essential role in platelet signal transduction pathways. We studie...
