Review highlights improved patency rates with no-touch saphenous vein graft in coronary artery bypass grafting, indicating enhanced techniques.
Compared with the conventionally harvested saphenous vein graft, the no-touch saphenous vein graft, in which manipulation and tension are minimized and intraluminal dilatation is avoided during vein harvest, has shown better-preserved luminal endothelium and improved patency rates after coronary artery bypass grafting. This review article will detail and summarize the relevant literature on the no-touch saphenous vein in coronary artery bypass grafting.
