Decreased morbidity following long saphenous Vein harvesting using a minimally invasive technique: a randomised controlled trial comparing two techniques for long saphenous Vein harvest
BMC, 2006Co-Authors: Nkere Udim, Al Benna Sammy, Mahmood Zahid, Murday AndrewAbstract:Abstract Objectives The objective of this study was to compare the morbidity associated with long saphenous Vein harvesting using the traditional open technique (A) against a minimally invasive technique using the Mayo Vein Stripper (B) that involves multiple short incisions. Design We conducted a prospective randomized controlled study in 80 patients undergoing first time coronary artery bypass grafting. Pain and healing was assessed on each postoperative day. Rings of long saphenous Vein were subjected to organ-bath evaluation of endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent relaxation. Results Three patients were excluded from the study, leaving 38 patients in Group A and 39 in Group B. With respect to operative procedure, Group A had a greater length of Vein harvested than Group B. There was no statistical difference in pain scores and endothelium-dependent or endothelium-independent relaxation between the two groups. However there were significantly more infections in Group A compared with Group B. Conclusion Harvesting Vein through multiple incisions using the Mayo Vein Stripper is quicker, results in fewer infections and has no deleterious effect on endothelial function compared to open technique.

short stripping of the incompetent great saphenous Vein by invisigrip Vein Stripper a new scarless surgical technique
Phlebologie, 2010Co-Authors: G M J M Welten, Attila G Krasznai, E C M Bollen, J C Van Der Kley, R Th J J WeltenAbstract:Our aim is to describe the results of a new short stripping technique for the treatment of the incompetent great saphenous Vein (GSV) using a new developed surgical device. Patients, methods: 397 patients (498 legs) were treated with the InvisiGrip® Vein Stripper, which removes the GSV through a single groin incision, endovascular cutting and antegrade stripping by inversion. We reported the surgical success rate and postprocedural complications. Results: The mean age was 51 years, 74% were women. The success rate for removal of the GSV was 95%. The 23 failures were half patient related, half device related. In 82% of the strippings, one or two attempts were needed to successfully remove the GSV, which was done by invagination in 80%. Age, gender, BMI ≥30 kg/m2 and male GSV diameter were not associated with the number of attempts. Superficial wound infection, haematoma and temporary saphenous and femoral nerve injury occurred in 6 (1.6%), 0, 3 (0.8%) and 7 (1.9%) patients, respectively. Conclusion: The InvisiGrip® is highly successful for the removal of the GSV using short inverting stripping. Furthermore, it is simple, safe, associated with good cosmetic results and no preoperative selection of patients is necessary.
