Background Saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) are broadly used in coronary artery bypass
grafting despite their inferior patency compared with arterial grafts. Recently, the no‐touch …

Objectives To explore the impact of the no-touch harvesting technique on the vessel
diameter of saphenous vein grafts. Methods This retrospective, single-center study enrolled …

Introduction: Improved long-term patency of the no-touch (NT) saphenous vein graft has
been reported to result from the preservation of a healthy vascular microstructure, especially …

Background: An intact and functionally preserved endothelial layer in the graft is crucial for
myocardial perfusion and graft patency after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We …

Background and Objectives: The saphenous vein is one of the most common used grafts
(SVG) for surgical revascularization. The mechanism of the SVGs occlusion is still unknown …

Background: The introduction of endoscopic saphenous vein graft harvesting has been
known for two decades. It offers benefits related to decreased rate of donner site …

Although saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) are used worldwide as bypass conduits, the long-
term graft patency of an SVG is unfavorable compared to that of arterial grafts. Therefore …

Saphenous veins used for coronary artery bypass surgery are subjected to considerable
vascular trauma when harvested by conventional methods. This vascular damage is …
