Özet

Background: The greater saphenous vein remains the most common conduit used in coronary artery bypass grafting procedures. Surgical trauma during vein harvesting can cause endothelial and smooth muscle injury that has important implications for vein graft longevity. This study was designed to investigate the effect of clipping and ligation of the side-branches during saphenous vein graft harvesting on histologic structures of the saphenous vein.
