1 Closed Suction Drainage Improves Clinical Outcome in Patients Undergoing Endoscopic Vein Harvesting for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting  Bhuvaneswari Krishnamoorthy, BS, Othman S.

2 Fig 1 Representative appearance of the scar after saphenous vein harvesting at day 3 using (A) a drain, (B) without a drain, and (C) drain in situ perioperative period. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2012 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

3 Fig 2 Pain perception was recorded using the Likert pain score on days 1 to 7 and at 2, 4, and 6 weeks postoperatively. Patients undergoing endoscopic vein harvest (EVH) with a drain had significantly reduced pain perception compared with patients who underwent EVH without a drain at rest and on movement (Bonferroni significance p < and p < 0.109, respectively).

4 Fig 3 Patient satisfaction was recorded using the patient and observer scar assessment scale. Patient satisfaction was significantly higher for patients with a drain than for patients without one (p = 0.006).
