Abstract
Sequential RA grafting is a safe method for maximizing arterial revascularization and is associated with excellent 10-year survival that seems to be superior to conventional or ITA/SV CABG results. Also, the similar proximal and distal sequential RA patency mitigates concerns of a clinically significant effect of increased vasoreactivity of distal segments of RA conduits.
