Abstract
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the most common procedure performed in adult cardiovascular operations.
Despite the increased use of arterial grafts, the most frequently used conduit is the greater saphenous vein for coronary revascularization since its introduction in 1967.
The long continuous incision is the traditional standard technique for harvesting the greater saphenous vein for CABG.
In recent years new techniques have been developed to harvest the saphenous vein (SV). These minimally invasive surgical techniques or skin-bridging methods are used to diminish the wound surface, and hence reduce postoperative morbidity at the site of harvesting. With the advent of endoscopic techniques for harvesting the LSV, the endoscope made a revolution in the harvesting techniques
