Ischemic heart diseases is considered one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The revascularization options for ischemic heart disease including percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Since 1970, many multiple, prospective, randomized clinical trials were conducted to assess the efficacy and the outcomes of CABG surgery.
The main aim of CABG is the complete revascularization of the stenotic arteries, so, a strong conduit is necessary for the success of the operation, such conduits can be harvested from Saphenous vein (SV), Internal Thoracic artery, Radial artery, Gastroepiploic artery, and splenic artery. However, the commonest one being used is SV. (1)
