Abstract
We report a 71-year old man with coronary artery disease. Complete coronary revascularization was not possible with autologous grafts; therefore, a 4-mm expanded polytetrafluoroethylene graft was implanted that had been seeded preoperatively with autologous vascular endothelial cells. At 9-year follow-up, the patient is asymptomatic and shows a patent graft.
