With more than 800,000 coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) operations annually
worldwide and the saphenous vein being the most common conduit used, there is no …

For many reasons, the saphenous vein (SV) and internal thoracic artery (ITA) will continue to
be the most important conduits in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The high …

The saphenous vein is the most common conduit used in coronary artery bypass grafting
(CABG) yet its failure rate is higher compared to arterial grafts. An improvement in …

Saphenous vein grafts, along with the left internal thoracic artery graft, are the hallmark of
coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Grounded on vast and landmark evidence, this …

In the recent interview with Dr. Domingos Souza, published on the Journal's blog, initial
observations that lead to the introduction of the no-touch (NT) saphenous vein graft (SVG) …

OBJECTIVE: Conventional harvesting of the saphenous vein in coronary artery bypass
surgery produces vessel damage that contributes to graft failure. A novel “no touch” …

Ischemic heart disease is currently the leading cause of death globally, with coronary artery
bypass grafting among the most common operations performed worldwide. More extensive …

Background Harvesting technique and surgical strategy may affect patency rates of
saphenous vein (SV) grafts in coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). We evaluated …

Aim Recent reports have suggested harvesting of the greater saphenous vein for coronary
artery bypass (CABG) using endoscopic techniques (endoscopic) results in early graft …

Background Vein graft failure is a crucial challenge in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)
surgery. Previous studies have suggested a patency benefit of the No-Touch vein harvesting …
