Background Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using saphenous vein grafts (SVG) is
vitiated by poor long-term patency of the vein grafts. Pedicled SVG harvested with the “no …

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

The SWEDEGRAFT study (ClinicalTrials. gov Identifier: NCT03501303) tests the hypothesis
that saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) harvested with the “no-touch” technique improves …

Background Saphenous vein grafts (SVG) are a commonly used conduit for coronary artery
bypass graft (CABG) surgery and can be harvested by either an open or endoscopic …

Background Single centre studies support No Touch (NT) saphenous vein graft (SVG)
harvesting technique. The primary objective of the SUPERIOR SVG study was to determine …

Objective The optimal harvesting technique of saphenous vein (SVG) in coronary artery
bypass grafting (CABG) is still to be elucidated. The present study aimed to compare the …

Objectives Although the patency of internal artery grafts in coronary artery bypass grafting
(CABG) is superior to that of saphenous vein grafts (SVGs), good long-term patency rates …

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 …

Background In the mid-1990s, the Swedish expert team proposed saphenous vein graft
(SVG) harvesting with pedicle tissue. The short-term and long-term patency rates of the great …

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is foundational to managing multivessel coronary
artery disease. The internal thoracic artery (ITA) remains the gold standard for left anterior …
