Introduction Endoscopic vein harvest is the technique of choice in North America, where it
constitutes 80% of conduit harvest for coronary artery bypass grafting. The UK has much …

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 …

Objective. Despite increasing recognition that endoscopic vein harvesting (EVH) is
