Objective “No-touch”(NT) saphenous vein harvesting preserves the adventitial vasa
vasorum, prevents medial ischemia, and is associated with an improved short-term and long …

compare the effect of conventional (CV) versus no-touch (NT) saphenous vein (SV)
harvesting on graft diameter pre-and postimplantation. Here, ultrasound imaging and …

Objectives This study investigates whether the no-touch (NT) vein graft, at a mean time of 16
years, maintains a significantly higher patency rate than conventional (C) vein grafts and still …

Background: The great saphenous vein is frequently harvested for use as a conduit in lower
limb bypass surgery. A number of papers advocate the use of an endoscopic technique …

Objectives: To evaluate the long-term angiographic patency of saphenous vein grafts (SVG)
harvested using the no-touch technique compared to the conventional technique. Methods …

No-touch (NT) saphenous vein (SV) grafts are superior to SVs harvested by the conventional
technique (CT), with a patency comparable with the internal thoracic artery (ITA) …

Objective: Long-term outcomes of vein morphologies in the endoscopic vein harvesting
setting are lacking. We analyzed 15-year follow-up for endoscopic versus open vein …

Purpose: To compare the operative variables, complications, and potential benefits of
endoscopic saphenous vein harvesting (ESVH) with traditional open vein retrieval for …

The saphenous vein remains in 2020 the most commonly used supplementary conduit to the
left internal thoracic artery. Endoscopic vein harvest, when performed by as experienced …
