Endoscopic Harvesting Device Type and Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery [1]
This prospective multiinstitutional study evaluated outcomes of different devices used for endoscopic vein harvesting classified as open or closed tunnel devices. There was no difference in the incidence of early graft failure or late clinical outcomes. The poorer graft outcomes related to endoscopic vein harvesting are not attributable to device type.
