‘No-touch’ technique to remove leg veins leads to better outcomes after heart bypass surgery

When a modified surgical technique was used to gently remove sections of leg veins used in coronary artery bypass surgery, the grafts were less likely to become blocked and fewer people had a recurrence of heart-related chest pain, according to new research published today in the American Heart Association's flagship journal Circulation.
