  • Abstract
    Wound complications are uncommon following endoscopic saphenous vein harvest. However, closed space infections within the endoscopic tunnel may occur and are difficult to manage. We describe the management of closed space infection in 3 patients and a method that allows drainage without unroofing the endoscopic tunnel.
