Multiple coronary artery bypass using sequential technic.
The relief of symptoms of myocardial ischemia and its lasting effect may be related to completeness of myocardial revascularization. Multiple bypass grafting to arteries with lesser stenosis and to small arteries can be simplified by use of the sequential technic. This can be done with no added risk, but its ultimate effectiveness will have to be determined at a much later date.
