Abstract
In a recent study published in the Journal, Kurazumi and colleagues1 compare the effect of conventional (CV) versus no-touch (NT) saphenous vein (SV) harvesting on graft diameter pre- and postimplantation. Here, ultrasound imaging and electrocardiogram-gated enhanced computed tomography showed that preoperative versus postoperative SV graft diameter was significantly distended in the CV group (P < .0001) but not changed in the NT group (P = .33). Also, the diameter mismatch was significantly smaller in the NT versus the CV group (P < .0001).
