Background—Limited information exists on the intermediate-term graft patency and 5-year
clinical outcomes of patients receiving saphenous vein grafts with multiple (m-SVG) versus …

FUNDAMENTO: Otimização da veia safena na revascularização miocárdica. OBJETIVO:
Apresentar a técnica no-touch de preparo da veia safena. Essa técnica consiste na retirada …

The choice of the graft conduit is crucial to the success of coronary artery bypass grafting
(CABG) because the patency of a coronary conduit is closely associated with an uneventful …

Previous studies have demonstrated superior patency of no-touch as compared to
conventional saphenous vein grafts in coronary artery bypass grafting. We aimed to …

The advantage in terms of wound infection, wound healing, and scarring has resulted in the
recent adoption of endoscopic vein harvesting (EVH) as a standard of care for coronary …

SAPHENOUS VEIN GRAFT HARVESTING AND PATENCY: STILL AN UNANSWERED
QUESTION Reply to the Editor: In their letter on our recent work, 1 Loesch and colleagues …

Background Earlier reports concerning endoscopic vein harvesting have been controversial
regarding the patency of the vein graft after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). In …

OBJECTIVE Neointimal hyperplasia secondary to vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC)
activation limits the long-term patency of saphenous vein grafts (SVGs). We compared …

Objectives We investigated the patency rates of no-touch saphenous vein grafts
anastomosed to the left anterior descending artery compared with the left internal thoracic …

Purpose: To investigate the hemodynamics characteristics of the “no-touch” saphenous vein
