Perioperative outcomes and graft patency in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) after no-touch saphenous vein harvesting: A single-center exploratory study

The NT technique for saphenous vein harvesting offers relevant perioperative advantages, including shorter harvesting time, reduced blood loss, and fewer early local complications, without adversely affecting operative time, major adverse cardiac events, wound infection, or one-year graft patency.
