Abstract
In the postoperative course after conventional open removal of the greater saphenous vein, wound healing disturbances are common and often painful. Therefore the primary goal of this investigation was to prove the safety and practicability of this new less invasive technique for saphenous vein harvesting and the effect on complications and morbidity.
