what happens very quickly once a vein is in the arterial circulation is that that vein now develops atherosclerosis very fast in fact usually faster than an artery because it's under a high pressure
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
venous grafts do arterialize not exactly the same way but they do get thicker because you know you are putting them into a pressured you know much higher pressure system so they do get a little bit thicker they don't like completely turn into arteries but they do end up with you know atherosclerosis similarly like like a artery would
if you put a vein into the arterial circulation it accumulates atherosclerosis because it has has the ability to become atheroscleros because the endothelium is the same in an artery and a vein
a vein breaks down way faster when I was in cardiology if you could get an artery and put in the arterial circulation then that would last longer in a cabbage in a coronary bypass graft you're nodding you're agreeing then a vein
when you take an artery or a vein out of out of the venous system and bypass it in cabbage it arterializes it actually gets thicker it starts having atherosclerosis
