Direct infarct artery stenting without predilation and no-reflow in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Vein graft failure is a crucial challenge in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Previous studies have suggested a patency benefit of the No-Touch vein harvesting technique, but only with small sample sizes. MATERIALS AND METHODS:This study is a prospective, multicenter randomized clinical trial wi...
