Graft Patency of No-Touch Saphenous Veins Used as Aortocoronary Bypass Grafts. [PDF]
J Chest Surg, 2023 This study evaluated the early, 1-year, and 3-year graft patency rates and mid-term clinical outcomes after no-touch saphenous veins (NT-SVs) were used as aortocoronary grafts in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).In total, 101 patients who underwent CABG using NT-SVs as aortocoronary grafts were included.

Transit time flow measurement predicts graft patency in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting upon 5-year angiographic follow-up [PDF]
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2021 Objective This retrospective study sought to evaluate the efficacy of transit time flow measurement (TTFM) as a means of predicting bypass graft patency as assessed by coronary artery angiography upon 5-year follow-up.

Early and Midterm Outcomes of “No-Touch” Saphenous Vein Grafts in Japanese Institutions [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2022 Introduction: There have been several attempts to overcome the poor graft patency of saphenous vein grafts. “No-touch” saphenous vein graft (NT-SVG) could be a solution to improve graft patency.

Towards Endoscopic No-Touch Saphenous Vein Graft Harvesting in Coronary Bypass Surgery [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2022 The saphenous vein is the most used conduit for coronary artery bypass surgery. However, the patency rate of this graft is inferior to the internal thoracic artery patency rate, which is the gold standard.

Assessment of the Graft Quality and Patency during and after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Diagnostics, 2023 Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the gold standard procedure for multi vessels and left main coronary artery disease. The prognosis and survival outcomes of CABG surgery are highly dependent on the patency of the bypass graft.
