Clinical Outcomes After Surgical Revascularization Using No-Touch Versus Conventional Saphenous Vein Grafts: Mid-Term Follow-Up of Propensity Score Matched Cohorts

Impact of the no-touch harvesting technique on the vessel diameter of saphenous vein grafts for coronary artery bypass grafting

“…Some of these trials showed improved graft patency, while some failed to demonstrate improved graft patency. 5 More studies have tried to elucidate the precise mechanism of the no-touch technique on graft patency. In this study, both early- and mid-term graft patency rates were excellent in both groups.…”
