Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The saphenous vein is commonly used for an autologous arterial bypass or vein graft. It is an ideal graft because it is lined with endothelial cells, which produce fibrinolytic substances to inhibit clotting. Autologous vein grafts also have a higher success rate than allografts or xenografts.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Thrombus and hemorrhage require the patient to return to the OR for immediate correction.
