A system and a method for harvesting a section of a blood vessel (V) from a patient's body for further use. The system includes an expandable hood (10) that creates a workspace for the dissection and removal of the vessel and a telescoping device that has tools at its distal end. The blood vessel (V) is cut at a distal location and a light catheter inserted to illuminate the area of dissection. The system can remove a section of the saphenous vein for use in coronary bypass surgery.

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé destinés à prélever une partie d'un vaisseau sanguin du corps d'un patient, pour un traitement ultérieur. Le système comprend une protection dilatable qui crée un espace de travail pour la dissection et l'ablation du vaisseau, ainsi qu'un dispositif télescopique doté d'outils à son extrémité distale. Le vaisseau sanguin est sectionné à un emplacement distal et un cathéter lumineux y est introduit pour illuminer la zone de dissection. Le système peut retirer une partie de la veine saphène dans le cadre d'une chirurgie de pontage coronarien.
