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 …

Conventional open harvest of the great saphenous vein (GSV) during CABG results in
approximately 7% donor‐site complications. Using endoscopic vein harvesting (EVH) the …

Vein grafts are the most used conduits in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), even
though many studies have suggested their lower patency compared to arterial alternatives …

A best evidence topic was written according to a structured protocol. The question
addressed was whether endoscopic vein harvesting (EVH) is equivalent to open vein …

The advantage in terms of wound infection, wound healing, and scarring has resulted in the
recent adoption of endoscopic vein harvesting (EVH) as a standard of care for coronary …

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: Our objective was to evaluate the impact of vein graft harvesting technique on
structure and function of vasa vasorum. METHODS: Paired segments of great saphenous …

Clear clinical advantages over traditional open vein harvest have allowed EVH to rapidly
become the standard-of-care for harvesting of one or more vein grafts during CABG. The …

Objective Endoscopic vein harvesting (EVH) is increasingly used as an alternative to open
vein harvesting (OVH) for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Concerns about the …

Background Vein-graft harvesting with the use of endoscopy (endoscopic harvesting) is a
technique that is widely used to reduce postoperative wound complications after coronary …
