Endoscopic vein harvesting is a minimally invasive procedure used to obtain veins, usually from the leg, for use in bypass surgery, such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The procedure involves making small incisions and using an endoscope to carefully remove the vein with minimal scarring and quicker recovery compared to traditional open harvesting techniques.

Endoscopic vein harvesting provides an effective and less invasive option for obtaining veins for grafting, reducing recovery time and surgical risk for patients.
