Summary

Conventional open vein harvesting from the legs during coronary artery bypass surgery result in wound complications among 30% of the patients. Endoscopic harvesting decrease the complication rate, but it remains to be shown whether this is also a fact among patient in whom only short segments of veingraft material is needed from the leg. We hypothesise that the rate of wound complications will be reduced and the patient satisfaction will be increased also among patients in whom only short vein segments are endoscopically harvested compared to conventional open vein harvesting.
