Stable Hemodynamics within "No-Touch" Saphenous Vein Graft.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:To investigate the hemodynamics characteristics of the "no-touch" saphenous vein graft (SVG) conduits by nicardipine intraluminal administration in vivo experiment. METHODS:A total of 59 consecutive patients were enrolled and underwent a sequential SVG to three non-left anterior descending (LAD) targets with the average runoff ≤2 mm, 30 with "no-touch" harvest technique (group A) and 29 with conventional preparation (group B). The patients were subject to nicardipine intraluminal injection during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedure. The intraoperative flow was measured with the ultrasonic transit time flow meter (TTFM), and the graft patency testified by multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography, respectively. RESULTS:The baseline blood flow was hi
