Abstract
The role of radial artery as an arterial conduit for myocardial revascularisation is well established. Minimally invasive approaches for the harvesting of conduits are desirable for clinical and cosmetic reasons. We report our experience with two techniques of endoscopic radial artery harvesting. The techniques are illustrated and their relative advantages discussed.
