Background Vein graft failure is a crucial challenge in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)
surgery. Previous studies have suggested a patency benefit of the No-Touch vein harvesting …

Background: Vein graft occlusion is deemed a major challenge in coronary artery bypass
grafting. Previous studies implied that the no-touch technique for vein graft harvesting could …

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

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 …

Background Earlier reports concerning endoscopic vein harvesting have been controversial
regarding the patency of the vein graft after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). In …

OBJECTIVE: In the Randomized On/Off Bypass (ROOBY) Trial, the efficacy of on-pump
versus off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting was evaluated. This ROOBY Trial planned …

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 …

ABSTRACT The Randomized Endo‐vein Graft Prospective (REGROUP) trial (ClinicalTrials.
gov NCT01850082) is a randomized, intent‐to‐treat, 2‐arm, parallel‐design, multicenter …
