No-Touch vein harvesting techniqueConventional vein harvesting

No-Touch vein harvesting technique: The No-Touch technique focuses on saphenous vein graft harvesting, featured by preserving the surrounding tissue of the vein while at the same time avoiding manual distension.

Conventional vein harvesting: During saphenous vein harvesting, surrounding tissue of the vein is stripped off, and manual distension is routinely performed

Study summary

This study evaluates the short-term patency of vein graft harvested by the No-Touch technique compared to that by the conventional approach in patients undergoing isolated on-pump/off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. a total of at least 2000 patients undergoing isolated on-pump/off-pump CABG will be consecutively recruited from 7 hospitals across China and randomly assigned to receive No-Touch saphenous vein harvesting or conventional approach. All participants will be invited for clinical follow-up and 64-slice multislice computed tomography angiography (MSCTA) analysis at 3 months post-operatively.
