Abstract
Rapid developments in interventional cardiology for the treatment of coronary artery disease ask for further evolution of surgical revascularization techniques with improved short-term and long-term results. Off-pump bypass grafting, total arterial revascularization, and use of composite arterial grafts are innovative operative procedures that are already established in many centers. We describe our technique to combine all three procedures in a single operation.
