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

Background Harvesting technique and surgical strategy may affect patency rates of
saphenous vein (SV) grafts in coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). We evaluated …

Background Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using saphenous vein grafts (SVG) is
vitiated by poor long-term patency of the vein grafts. Pedicled SVG harvested with the “no …

Saphenous vein (SV) is a common graft being used in coronary artery bypass grafting
(CABG). Conventional (CON), intermediate (I), and no-touch (NT) are the most common …

Background Single centre studies support No Touch (NT) saphenous vein graft (SVG)
harvesting technique. The primary objective of the SUPERIOR SVG study was to determine …

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 …

Saphenous vein grafts, along with the left internal thoracic artery graft, are the hallmark of
coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Grounded on vast and landmark evidence, this …

Objective The optimal harvesting technique of saphenous vein (SVG) in coronary artery
bypass grafting (CABG) is still to be elucidated. The present study aimed to compare the …

The saphenous vein is the most common conduit used in coronary artery bypass grafting
(CABG) yet its failure rate is higher compared to arterial grafts. An improvement in …

OBJECTIVES Coronary artery bypass grafting for advanced coronary artery disease is a well-
established procedure with excellent long-term results. The issue of saphenous vein graft …
