We report the technique of endoscopic vessel (radial artery and/or vein) harvesting for coronary bypass grafting. Clearly less invasive, this endoscopic approach therefore offers the following advantages for the patient: limited postoperative pain and therefore faster rehabilitation in terms of mobility, less postoperative care, the absence of a long scar and therefore a lower risk of surgical complications with a better aesthetic result, while allowing a quality and a permeability of the graft similar to those obtained after a classic surgical harvest.
