Novel no-touch technique of harvesting the saphenous vein for coronary artery bypass grafting.
BACKGROUND Optimization of the saphenous vein for myocardial revascularization. OBJECTIVE To present the no-touch technique of the saphenous vein preparation. This technique consists of harvesting the vein with a pedicle of surrounding tissue, which protects the vein from spasms, obviating the need for distension. METHODS A prospective, randomized study with 156 patients who underwent arter...
متن کاملUnderstanding saphenous vein graft patency.
Saphenous vein was the conduit used in the first series of coronary surgery, and, with the exception of revascularization of the left anterior descending coronary artery, it remains the most commonly used conduit.1 There are several reasons for this. First, because of its relatively large diameter and wall characteristics, it is technically easy to use; second, it is plentiful, and therefore ca...

متن کاملAssociation between Plasma Fibrinogen Level and Saphenous Vein Graft Patency.
BACKGROUND Fibrinogen is related to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The inflammatory process in atherosclerosis may cause an increase in plasma fibrinogen level. Therefore, in this study we proposed to investigate whether plasma fibrinogen is associated with the patency of saphenous vein graft in patients at least 1 year after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. METHODS Patients...
متن کاملThe no-touch vein graft harvesting technique for coronary artery bypass grafting surgery reduces mortality: a long-term follow-up study
Background The saphenous vein is still the most widely used conduit in CABG surgery despite its poor long term patency. In the 1990’s a new No-touch technique for saphenous vein graft harvesting for CABG was introduced where the vein graft is harvested with a pedicle of surrounding tissue. With the No-touch technique the vein graft does not go into spasm and the vessel wall does not have to be ...
