An Expert Panel Review of Endoscopic Vein Harvesting Devices: Benefits, Limitations, and Clinical Insights
No existing studies link specific device-related learning curves to clinical outcomes or conduit quality. There is an apparent need for independent device evaluation, standardized training programmes, and robust comparative outcome data to support evidence-based device selection that prioritizes patient safety and conduit long-term patency.
