Résumé
Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the Western world. Thus, coronary artery bypass graft is the most common cardiac procedure performed as it remains the gold standard for multiple vessel disease and left main disease. Long saphenous vein is the conduit of choice for coronary artery bypass graft as it is accessible and easy to harvest. Over the previous 4 decades, several techniques have emerged to optimize harvesting and reducing adverse clinical outcomes. The most cited techniques are open vein harvesting, no-touch technique, endoscopic vein harvesting, and standard bridging technique. In this literature review, we aim to summarize current literature for each of the 4 techniques in terms of: (A) graft patency and attrition, (B) myocardial infarction and revascularization, (C) wound infections, (D) postoperative pain, and (E) patient satisfaction.
