The purpose of this study is to evaluate patency rates of the external Saphenous Vein Support (eSVS) Mesh Saphenous Vein Grafts (SVG) and Control SVG at 3-6 months and 24 months.
The study will enroll up to 200 patients at up to 6 sites. Patients will be enrolled upon meeting entrance criteria, including obtaining written informed consent. Eligible patients must be clinically indicated for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using autologous saphenous vein grafts (SVG). The study is a prospective, randomized, repeated measure controlled trial based on each patient receiving one control SVG and one external Saphenous Vein Support (eSVS) Mesh treated SVG. Each patient will be their own control.

Patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease who require saphenous vein graft (SVG) coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery of the Right coronary Artery (RCA) and the Circumflex Artery (Cx) due to atherosclerotic coronary artery disease will serve as their own control. They will be randomized to either an SVG+eSVS Mesh to the RCA and an SVG to the Cx or an SVG to the RCA and an SVG+eSVS Mesh to the Cx.

Patency of external Saphenous Vein Support (eSVS) Mesh Saphenous Vein Graft (SVG) versus Control SVG
Patency of eSVS Mesh and Control SVGs assessed by spiral CT or angiography at 3-6 months following surgery.
Time frame: 3-6 Months
Patency and percent stenosis of the eSVS Mesh and Control Saphenous Vein Grafts
Patency and percent stenosis of the eSVS Mesh and Control SVGs assessed by angiography at 24 months following surgery
Time frame: 24 Months
The occurrence of any Major Adverse Cardiac Event (MACE)
The occurrence of the MACE composite of death, myocardial infarction (Q wave and non-Q wave), stroke, coronary revascularization (i.e. coronary artery bypass surgery or percutaneous coronary intervention), and at 3 to 6-months postimplant.
Time frame: 3-6 months post implant
