Summary

The long saphenous vein is traditionally harvested for use as a conduit in coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. Currently, the long saphenous vein is not imaged prior to surgery. This study aims to evaluate preoperative ultrasound mapping of the long saphenous vein to to improve patient and clinical outcomes.

Conditions

  • Surgical Wound Infection
  • Coronary Artery Bypass

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Ultrasound imaging of the long saphenous vein

Ultrasound imaging of the long saphenous vein from the ankle to the saphenofemoral junction. This will allow assessment of vein calibre, branches and bifurcations, presence of thrombophlebitis and distribution. The presence of a proximal deep vein thrombosis will also be assessed.
