Outcomes of No-Touch Vs Conventionally Harvested Saphenous Veins for Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Trials
The NT-SV harvesting technique was associated with a significant reduction in graft failure and an increased risk of wound complications compared to the CON-SV. Further research is warranted to evaluate clinical NT-SV outcomes, and strategies are needed to mitigate NT-SV harvest-site complications.
