Endoscopic versus open vein harvesting for coronary artery bypass: a systematic review and meta-analysis
This systematic review indicates that while EVH presents significant advantages for reducing leg wound complications, its efficacy in graft patency appears less favorable than OVH. Further investigation is essential to explore the long-term benefits and cost-effectiveness of these techniques, ensuring optimal practices in vein harvesting for CABG.
