BACKGROUND: To determine the current strength of evidence for or against endoscopic
vein harvesting (EVH) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) …

In recent times, practice in cardiac surgery has shifted towards using endoscopic techniques
to harvest the saphenous vein from the leg for use as a bypass graft. A paper published in …

Background Two prevalent harvesting techniques are routinely utilized in coronary artery
bypass grafting (CABG): endoscopic vein harvesting (EVH) and open vein harvesting (OVH) …

Endoscopic vein harvesting (EVH) for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was
introduced in the 1990s to reduce the rates of leg wound complications. 1 Technical mastery …

harvesting (EVH) improves clinical and resource outcomes compared with conventional …

Objective Endoscopic vein harvesting (EVH) is growing in popularity and is the method of
choice in many centers worldwide as it is associated with lower complication rates …

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 …

Coronary artery bypass grafting is the most common cardiac surgical procedure performed
worldwide and the long saphenous vein the most common conduit for this. When performed …

BACKGROUND: Endoscopic saphenous vein harvest (EVH) decreases leg wound
infections and improves cosmesis after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Recent …
