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 …

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

Background The saphenous-vein graft is the most common conduit for coronary-artery
bypass grafting (CABG). The influence of the vein-graft harvesting technique on long-term …

Introduction: This single-center study of propensity-matched data was performed to assess
the effect of the no-touch saphenous vein (NTSV) harvesting technique on early-and long …

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 …

Background Two prevalent harvesting techniques are routinely utilized in coronary artery
bypass grafting (CABG): endoscopic vein harvesting (EVH) and open vein harvesting (OVH) …

Background To compare the clinical outcomes, quality of saphenous vein (SV) grafts, and
wound complications between endoscopic vein harvesting (EVH) technique and open vein …

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 …

Controversy surrounding the issue of greater wound morbidity when using the 'no-touch'(NT)
saphenous vein graft (SVG) when compared with the conventional (CON) harvesting …

Objectives To explore the impact of the no-touch harvesting technique on the vessel
diameter of saphenous vein grafts. Methods This retrospective, single-center study enrolled …
