This study aims to investigate the clinical effect of the new saphenous vein harvesting technique "No-touch" in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting(OPCABG), comparing to the conventional technique. Adopting CTA to evaluate the 3 months patency of the graft, we will compare veins harvested using No-touch technique to saphenous veins using conventional open technique.
