“…Similar expression was noted in expression of composite Y grafts [3]. El Nakadi et al, [4] used a hyphen to connect the donor and receptor vessels in the bypass graft. Whereas, Affleck et al, [5] used a slant to express composite T graft.…”

“…Thus, there has been growing interest in completely arterial revascularization. 1 –3,5–6 The arterial grafts utilized include the ITA, radial artery, and gastroepiploic artery. 7 –9 A recent report from Australia indicated that the medium-term patency rate of the radial artery as a free graft is not superior to that of the free right ITA or a saphenous vein graft.…”

“…There is increasing interest in completely arterial revascularization. 2–3 However, revascularization exclusively with ITA is an extreme approach, although the idea is appealing. One of the concerns with this method is the limited length of the ITA.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the most efficient design of composite grafts and clarify the technical feasibility rate of composite grafting using internal thoracic artery exclusively in patients undergoing triple-vessel revascularization. Retrospective analysis of 104 consecutive patients was carried out. An in situ left internal thoracic artery graft for the left anterior descending artery area, with attachment of the right internal thoracic artery to the side of the left internal thoracic artery to revascularize the circumflex and right coronary vessels, was the most efficient graft design. The technical feasibility rate was 80% (83/104 patients). The mean number of distal anastomoses for the entire group was 3.8+/-0.8 per patient. Intraoperative left internal thoracic artery flow rate was 91.6+/-37.8 mL.min-1. With more experience, it is thought that the technical feasibility rate could be increased.

“…Glineur et al evaluated BIMA grafting with both IMA grafts targeted to the left coronary system in either an in-situ or Y-graft configuration, noting equivalent patencies and other mid-term results. In addition, the T-graft configuration has been shown to be safe and effective in grafting multiple distal coronary targets [111]. Most results with BIMA grafting are improved by harvesting the conduit as a "skeletonized" graft rather than as a pedicled graft, in which the accompanying mammary veins and surrounding chest wall muscle and fascia were mobilized along with the artery.…”
