2014, Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Dermatitis, cellulitis, greater saphenous neuropathy, chronic non-healing wounds, and lymphoceles are the most common leg-wound complications after SVG harvesting being associated with substantial morbidity, longer hospital stays, higher hospital costs, later mobilization, and additional surgical procedures [53]. Tatoulis et al. [165] evaluated 2417 patients after RA harvesting and reported a 0.08% incidence of fingertip ischemia, a 0.4% incidence of forearm hematoma, and no major forearm infections, whereas leg-wound complications after SVG harvesting range from 1% to 24% [166–168]. In another study [164], infection at the harvest site was observed in 6.4% of the patients who received an SV graft, but none receiving arterial conduits.
