insufflation. Deflate the BTT balloon, if
necessary, and remove the BTT from the incision.
Check for any branches and adherent tissue at the site of
the BTT in the tunnel. These branches may be transected
under direct vision.
Remove the saphenous vein through the incision. Note the
anatomical orientation of the vein for proper cannulation of
the vein for vessel preparation. Measure the vein to ensure
adequate length for the bypass grafting. (Figure 31) If
additional length is needed, further dissection can be
carried out through the same incision, harvesting in the
opposite direction.
Flush and prepare the vein according to standard protocol.

Technique Tips

operative area, expressing any residual blood out through
the incision prior to closing.
Irrigate the operative tunnel, if desired. Roll out irrigant
