Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is an effective method for the treatment of coronary heart disease at present. However, there is still a high rate of vein graft occlusion after CABG, which has a serious impact on the short and long-term clinical results. Venous access technique has been considered as an important factor on affecting the long-term patency rate. Compared with harvesting technology of the open saphenous vein harvesting, no-touch technology retained the surrounding tissue and vascular adventitia of great saphenous vein, and it avoided the high pressure of expansion vein. After CABG was performed by using the no-touch technique, the vein grafts obtained a better short and long-term patency rate, but the effect still needs further clinical verification.
