Abstract

BELCZAK, Cleusa Ema Quilici; GODOY, José Maria Pereira de; CRUZ JUNIOR, Antonio Fiel  and  CAFFARO, Roberto Augusto. Lymphoscintigraphic changes after harvesting of the saphenous vein for coronary artery bypass graft. Rev Bras Cir Cardiovasc [online]. 2011, vol.26, n.3, pp. 488-489. ISSN 0102-7638.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5935/1678-9741.20110028.

Bridged incisions do not eliminate lesions to the lymphatic vessels and so the identification of risk factors associated to lymphatic lesions is important.

Keywords : Saphenous vein; Lymphedema; Coronary artery disease.
