Endoscopic vein harvest and its effect on lower extremity arterial bypass patency
This study found no significant difference in primary, primary-assisted, and secondary patency rates when comparing EVH with OVH. The benefits of decreased operative time, similar patency rates, and decreased wound complications is promising. When EVH is performed by experienced providers, this technique could be considered for vein harvest, but future studies are needed to better evaluate its long-term efficacy.
