title: Nonreversed saphenous vein grafts in coronary surgery.
abstract: The nonreversed saphenous venous graft in coronary surgery gives better match of diameters at the aortic as well as at the coronary anastomosis. The destruction of the valves is necessary and special valvulotomes are used. This preliminary report of a new technique in coronary surgery must be followed by long term results.
