Abstract: OVH was associated with superior primary and assisted primary patencies compared with EVH at 5 years, yet OVH was associated with higher wound complications. Surgeons should weigh the risk of wound complications vs decreased primary and primary assisted patency when deciding which method to use for vein harvest.

“…Among the various surgical techniques aimed to restore the physiological circulation, the most performed one consists into bypassing the occlusion by using an autologous saphenous vein graft, a procedure known as Vein Graft Bypass (VGB) [35]. …”

“…Recent literature, including our own experience, examining the use of EVH in lower extremity bypass reports favorable wound complication rates and decreased length of stay, readmission rates, and cost compared with open vein harvest. 8,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] These benefits, however, have come at the cost of decreased primary patency rates with EVH compared with OVH. 23,24 A possible mechanism for the decreased patency rates with EVH is increased vein handling leading to injury.…”

The need for a single continuous conduit in lower extremity bypass differs from the needs in CABG, where the vein is divided into shorter segments and less ideal segments are discarded.…”
