ABSTRACT
In the mid-1990s, a novel saphenous vein harvesting technique, in which the vein is harvested with its surrounding tissue without manual distention, was introduced. This no-touch technique provides an excellent long-term patency; however, graft twisting and kinking should be given attention. To fully bring out the benefit of the no-touch method while reducing the risk of twisting and kinking, we have modified the anastomosis strategy. Our simple modified strategy involved a proximal anastomosis prior to the distal anastomosis. This strategy was successfully used in 16 patients.
