Detailed Description
Atherosclerosis is a complex, multifactorial inflammatory disease, which is initiated largely in areas of endothelial injury, secondary to biomechanical disturbances, or systemic factors such as lipoprotein disturbances, hypertension, diabetes, and smoking (the response to injury hypothesis). Accumulating data indicate that structural and/or functional alterations in endothelial integrity play a primordial role in the development of atherosclerosis via promoting aberrant interactions between modified lipoproteins, monocyte-derived macrophages, T cells and normal cellular elements of the arterial wall inciting early plaque formation. As such, strategies, either pharmacological or mechanical in nature which reduce and/or restore endothelial homeostasis remain an important cornerstone to limit atherosclerosis.
Investigators hypothesize that saphenous veins harvested using the atraumatic pedicled ("no-touch") technique from patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass surgery will exhibit superior indices of vasomotor structure compared to veins harvested using the conventional open technique. We anticipate that leg healing will not be significantly altered using the "no-touch" technique.
Eligible patients will have two SVG segments harvested, one from each lower leg. One leg will have the SVG harvested in the conventional fashion and the contralateral leg will have the SVG harvested using the "no touch" technique. This will be determined by block randomization revealed at the time of skin incision. For patients with very small lower leg saphenous veins, the surgical protocol would be to then use the thigh segment instead. Patients will have Duplex scans to evaluate saphenous veins pre-operatively.

Biological Properties
Time Frame: Characteristics of the tissue will be reflective of the status of the tissue on the day of surgery (day 0).
|
Segments of saphenous veins, approximately 5cm in length, harvested by either the conventional or no-touch technique will be employed. Segments will be immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen for Western blot analysis. Another 5mm segment will be used for immediate measurement of superoxide (O2-) production. Two rings, approximately 5mm in length will be frozen in Tissue Teck and another one placed in formalin (4%) and then embedded in paraffin. |
Characteristics of the tissue will be reflective of the status of the tissue on the day of surgery (day 0).
