  • every bypass patient gets at least one mammary artery graft, many get both but if a vein graft is needed this method is much more invasive, practically painless and with a tiny scar, also the vein is not handled or squeezed during harvesting so there is much less chance of intimal damage that may lead to blockage later.

  • Do you always wear your wedding band while scrubbed??

  • Thanks from a medical student for the interesting videos.

  • very superior to the regular open harvest.!

    two opens of 1 cm long, but is there any possibility of post-procedure haematoma?

  • thank you for the info. Since I wrote this I have done a rotation in CT surgery. This is the same technique used in the OR. I perform a sticktie to the proximal vein, place two clips (facing different directions) then bovie the tip. Helps with hemostasis - especially with the heparin running. Great video!

  • great video, do you now prefer the internal mammary/internal thoracic or radial artery artery over a vein?

  • brilliant!

  • Hello,

    Super ! Super !

    Other videos, please...

    Thank You
