Abstract
Intraoperative saphenous vein duplex scanning is rapidly and easily accomplished with available operating room resources. Study information allows optimal surgical site selection, avoiding unnecessary surgical dissection, time delays, vein wastage and potential for wound complications. Optimizing incision site selection eliminates blind exploration for vein conduit, improves conduit planning, and expedites surgical dissection during endoscopic vein harvest.
