No-Touch Versus Conventional Saphenous Vein Harvesting Technique
Sponsor: China National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases
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.

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
