    Angioscopy during in situ saphenous vein bypass grafting allowed visualization and correction of issues like incomplete valvulotomy. This technique confirmed graft integrity and identified potential complications, enhancing surgical outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Minimally Invasive Techniques
    • Surgical Visualization

    Background:

    • In situ saphenous vein grafts are crucial for coronary artery bypass grafting.
    • Ensuring complete valvulotomy and assessing anastomotic integrity are critical for graft patency.
    • Traditional methods may have limitations in real-time intraoperative assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of angioscopy during in situ saphenous vein bypass grafting.
    • To assess the ability of angioscopy to identify and correct intraoperative technical issues.
    • To determine if angioscopy can verify distal anastomotic integrity.

    Main Methods:

    • Angioscopy was performed in seven patients undergoing in situ saphenous vein bypass grafting.

  • Valve incision, valvulotomy completeness, side branches, and distal anastomotic integrity were visualized.
  • Findings were compared with Doppler ultrasound and completion angiography.

    • Main Results:

    • Angioscopy enabled visualization of valve incision and identification/correction of incomplete valvulotomy.
    • Potential arteriovenous fistulas (side branches) were identified.
    • No retained valve cusps were found post-angioscopy.
    • Distal anastomotic integrity was verified in suitable grafts.
    • Angioscopy required minimal time and was easy to use.

    Conclusions:

    • Angioscopy is a valuable adjunct to Doppler ultrasound and completion angiography in saphenous vein bypass grafting.
    • It allows for real-time intraoperative assessment and correction of technical details.
    • Angioscopy enhances surgical confidence and may have future therapeutic applications.
