Abstract
Harvesting a pedicled vein provides comparable postoperative bleeding and leg wound infection rates in selected patients. The technique is associated with a slightly longer duration of extracorporeal circulation than harvesting conventional veins. Promising early results using the pedicled vein technique may contribute to a change in standard vein harvesting technique for CABG in selected patients.
