title: Sextuple coronary artery bypass grafting using only in situ arterial conduits.
abstract: Sequential bypass in coronary artery bypass grafting with in situ arterial conduits, the bilateral internal thoracic arteries and the right gastroepiploic artery, is one of the most important procedures using a limited number of in situ arterial conduits to revascularize a wide area, although it demands rather difficult techniques. We report a case of a 50-year-old man who underwent sextuple bypass using only in situ arterial grafts with three sequential anastomoses.
