Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Using the No-Touch Great Saphenous Vein Graft Harvesting Technique : A Retrospective Study

Copyright © 2023, Nakajima et al..

Background We focused on coronary artery bypass grafting using the great saphenous vein and compared the no-touch great saphenous vein and conventional great saphenous vein. Methods Coronary artery bypass grafting using the great saphenous vein was performed at our hospital over a 15-year period from 2007/04 to 2022/08. The primary endpoint was the patency of the great saphenous vein at discharge, and secondary endpoints were delayed healing of the great saphenous vein harvest wound, delayed healing of the mid-thoracic wound, and factors related to coronary artery bypass surgery. Results There were 183 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass surgery using the great saphenous vein during the study period. There were 131 male patients (72%) and 52 female patients (28%) with a mean age of 69 years (38-94 years). The method of harvesting the great saphenous vein was a no-touch great saphenous vein graft (NT-SVG) in 29 cases (16%) and conventional SVG in 154 cases (84%). Patients were divided into two groups: the NT-SVG group and the standard-collection saphenous vein graft (SVG) group. We compared graft patency at discharge, healing failure of the lower leg wound, healing failure of the mid-thoracic wound, and flow by transit-time flow measurement (TTFM). Conclusion There were no significant differences in perioperative outcomes between the NT-SVG and conventional SVG groups in this study.
