| Popis: | Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains an index procedure in cardiac surgery. Despite the increasing use of arterial conduits, the great saphenous vein remains the most widely used conduit due to its ease of harvest, availability and versatility. Traditional open harvesting technique (OVH) is associated with significant wound - related morbidity and therefore an endoscopic minimally invasive harvesting technique is increasingly employed. In our institution, endoscopic vein harvest (EVH) is now performed as a routine and here we report our mid-term results. |
