Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The health-related quality of life questionnaire "EQ-5D" has been collected in connection with several interventional and observational studies where the no-touch vein harvesting technique in CABG has been used. The results of the questionnaires will be compiled and reported in this study.
