Who can join

Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Age greater than 18 and able to provide consent
• Eligible for endoscopic vein harvesting
• Minimum of two non sequential vein grafts
• Willing to comply with requirements of protocol

You may not qualify if…

• Previous CABG
• Previous or concomitant valve surgery
• Any other concomitant cardiac procedure other than surgical ablation or incidental PFO repair
• Intolerance to Iodine or IV contrast that cannot be controlled with pre-medication
• Renal insufficiency with GFR measurement ≤ 40, unless dialysis dependent
• Abnormal platelet level defined as Plt Count >400,000
• Abnormal platelet function (hypercoagulable state) as evidenced by TEG testing
• Allergy to or presence of a condition that the investigator feels may prevent safe administration of ASA or Plavix post-operatively.
• Patient has a co-morbid condition that in the opinion of the investigator poses undue risk for successful endovascular harvesting of the vein
