Endoscopic Vein Harvesting

What is Endoscopic Vein Harvesting?

Endoscopic vein harvesting is a minimally invasive procedure performed to extract the saphenous vein from the leg. The procedure requires one to three small incisions, each less than 1 inch in length. The procedure is part of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, which is performed to bypass one or more blocked coronary arteries and restore oxygen-rich blood flow to the heart.
