Epicardial dissection may solve the problem of saphenous vein graft length.
Saphenous vein graft length may be not enough in some cases in aortocoronary bypass surgery. If the graft length is not enough, cardiac surgeons can use epicardial and fatty dissection to release tightening saphenous vein graft, especially in the right coronary artery fashion.
