As experience and refinements in instrumentation progress, the endoscopic approach will undoubtedly become the procedure of choice for harvesting vessel conduits. This article provides a practical primer, based on our serial experience with endoscopic vein dissections, for those considering the minimally invasive endoscopic approach inharvesting vessels for CABG
