Perivascular Adipose Tissue Is a Major Source of Nitric Oxide in Saphenous Vein Grafts Harvested via the No‐Touch Technique

Background Saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) are broadly used in coronary artery bypass grafting despite their inferior patency compared with arterial grafts. Recently, the no‐touch technique (NT), in which an SVG is harvested with a pedicle of perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) without conduit distensio...
