Sextuple coronary artery bypass grafting using only in situ arterial conduits.
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.
