Assessing Vein Graft Properties Between Conventional & No-Touch Harvesting Technique - (PATENT SVG)

NCT01488084 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 15

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare saphenous veins harvested using the atraumatic pedicled ("no-touch") technique to saphenous veins harvested using the conventional open technique in patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass surgery. Investigators will compare the biological structure of the saphenous veins harvested using these two techniques. There is some evidence that saphenous veins harvested using the "no-touch" technique may allow for better patency up to 8 years following bypass surgery. We may be able to detect early differences in vascular structure, observed at the time of conduit harvest.
