The application of no-touch saphenous vein graft in coronary artery bypass grafting

Coronary artery disease is currently one of the leading cause of death from disease, and coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) is an effective treatment for it. Saphenous vein graft(SVG) is one of the most commonly employed conduits for CABG. However, the long-term patency of SVG harvested by conventional technique is poor. No-touch SVG harvesting technique can provide better structural, morphological and functional protection of the vein wall, also can receive satisfied long-term patency rate.
