Purpose: Saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) sometimes occur as vein graft stenosis or failure in
coronary artery bypass grafting. The purpose of this study was to detect the factors affecting …

Objective This study aimed to examine the short-term effect of the no-touch technique on the
patency rate of a great saphenous vein (GSV) bridge used during off-pump coronary artery …

Objectives: In a long-term randomised coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) study, the
patency rate using a new 'no touch'(NT) vein-graft preparation technique was superior to the …

The saphenous vein is the most used conduit for coronary artery bypass surgery. However,
the patency rate of this graft is inferior to the internal thoracic artery patency rate, which is the …

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 …

Objective: Saphenous vein grafts (SV) used in coronary artery bypass grafting have a limited
life and vein occlusion may be the final adverse effect. Efforts to develop new techniques to …

Background and Aim of the Study Many studies support that the no‐touch (NT) procedure
can improve the patency rate of vein grafts. However, it is not clear that the sequential vein …

Background Despite the inferior patency compared to arterial grafts, a saphenous vein graft
(SVG) is widely used for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). A lower atherosclerosis …

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

Aim Recent reports have suggested harvesting of the greater saphenous vein for coronary
artery bypass (CABG) using endoscopic techniques (endoscopic) results in early graft …
