Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the cost-effectiveness, technical feasibility, and
potential benefits associated with endoscopic saphenous vein harvesting. Patients and …

Background: We sought to determine whether the postoperative and midterm outcomes of
minimally invasive and endoscopic great saphenous vein harvesting are comparable …

Background Less-than-optimal long-term patency of the saphenous vein is one of the main
obstacles for the success of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Results from the …

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

The saphenous vein is a frequently used graft material in coronary artery bypass grafting. In
this review, three harvesting techniques are presented, and their benefits and …

The long saphenous vein remains the most commonly used conduit in coronary artery
bypass surgery. Vein harvest is a critical component of this operation with significant …

Introduction: The present study sought to analyze the learning curve of no-touch vein
harvesting technique in offpump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods …

Background: Current consensus statements maintain that endoscopic vein harvesting (EVH)
should be standard care in coronary artery bypass graft surgery, but vein quality and clinical …

OBJECTIVES The use of an open vein harvesting (OVH) technique for saphenous vein
harvesting (SVH) is associated with wound complications and delayed patient mobilization …

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 …
