&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Synonyms and keywords:&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; Coronary artery bypass grafting, and colloquially heart bypass, bypass, bypass surgery, open heart surgery, or CABG (pronounced like cabbage), aortocoronary bypass (ACB). The term Coronary Artery Graft Surgery (CAGS) is often used outside the United States and should not be confused with [[Coronary angiography|Coronary Angiography (CAG)]]. OPCAB refers to [[Off-pump coronary artery bypass]], a procedure during which the patient is not placed on extracorporeal circulation (&amp;quot;the pump&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Coronary artery bypass surgery overview|Overview]]==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Coronary artery bypass surgery]] ([[Coronary artery bypass surgery|CABG]]) is a [[surgery|surgical]] [[coronary revascularization|revascularization]] procedure that is used to circumvent or bypass blockages in the [[Epicardium|epicardial]] [[coronary arteries]] associated with [[acute coronary syndromes]] (including [[ST elevation MI]], [[non ST elevation MI]], [[unstable angina]]) and [[stable angina]]. The technique was pioneered by Argentine [[cardiac surgeon]] [[René Favaloro]] at the [[Cleveland Clinic]] in the late 1960s. As part of the procedure, [[artery|arteries]] or [[vein]]s from elsewhere in the [[patient]]&#039;s body are [[medical grafting|grafted]] from the [[aorta]] to the [[coronary artery|coronary arteries]] to bypass [[atherosclerosis|atherosclerotic]] [[stenosis|narrowings]] and improve the [[blood]] supply to the [[coronary circulation]] supplying the [[myocardium]] ([[myocardium|heart muscle]]). This surgery is usually performed with the [[heart]] stopped, necessitating the usage of [[cardiopulmonary bypass]]. However, recent advances allow the procedure to be performed with the [[heart]] beating and through smaller [[incisions]]. Currently, about 500,000 [[Coronary artery bypass surgery]] ([[Coronary artery bypass surgery|CABG]]) are performed in the United States each year.&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
One of the recommended practices to decrease the likelihood of [[Sternum|sternal]] [[wound]] [[infection]] in [[patients]] undergoing [[CABG]] is [[Surgery|perioperative]] [[insulin]] [[infusion]] to control [[hyperglycemia]] and maintaining the [[blood sugar]] lower than 180 mg/dl. In addition to reducing the likelihood of [[infection]], the administration of continuous [[insulin]] [[infusion]] has been proven to lessens the likelihood of [[surgery|postoperative]] [[complications]], such as [[mediastinitis]], [[cardiac arrhythmias]], [[renal failure]], and lengthy [[hospital|hospitalization]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Synonyms and keywords:&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; Coronary artery bypass grafting, and colloquially heart bypass, bypass, bypass surgery, open heart surgery, or CABG (pronounced like cabbage), aortocoronary bypass (ACB). The term Coronary Artery Graft Surgery (CAGS) is often used outside the United States and should not be confused with [[Coronary angiography|Coronary Angiography (CAG)]]. OPCAB refers to [[Off-pump coronary artery bypass]], a procedure during which the patient is not placed on extracorporeal circulation (&amp;quot;the pump&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Coronary artery bypass surgery overview|Overview]]==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Coronary artery bypass surgery]] ([[Coronary artery bypass surgery|CABG]]) is a [[surgery|surgical]] [[coronary revascularization|revascularization]] procedure that is used to circumvent or bypass blockages in the [[Epicardium|epicardial]] [[coronary arteries]] associated with [[acute coronary syndromes]] (including [[ST elevation MI]], [[non ST elevation MI]], [[unstable angina]]) and [[stable angina]]. The technique was pioneered by Argentine [[cardiac surgeon]] [[René Favaloro]] at the [[Cleveland Clinic]] in the late 1960s. As part of the procedure, [[artery|arteries]] or [[vein]]s from elsewhere in the [[patient]]&#039;s body are [[medical grafting|grafted]] from the [[aorta]] to the [[coronary artery|coronary arteries]] to bypass [[atherosclerosis|atherosclerotic]] [[stenosis|narrowings]] and improve the [[blood]] supply to the [[coronary circulation]] supplying the [[myocardium]] ([[myocardium|heart muscle]]). This surgery is usually performed with the [[heart]] stopped, necessitating the usage of [[cardiopulmonary bypass]]. However, recent advances allow the procedure to be performed with the [[heart]] beating and through smaller [[incisions]]. Currently, about 500,000 [[Coronary artery bypass surgery]] ([[Coronary artery bypass surgery|CABG]]) are performed in the United States each year.&lt;br /&gt;

==[[Overview]]==&lt;br /&gt;
There are [[surgery|alternative operative strategies]] such as [[Off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery|off-pump]] or beating [[heart]], which have their own risks and benefits. These alternatives could be used when the risks of [[aorta|aortic]] manipulation outweigh the safe use of a [[Aortic cross-clamp|cross-clamp]] or [[cannulation]] of the [[ascending aorta]]. Furthermore, [[surgery|surgeon]] experience with the strategies mentioned above should be considered.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Synonyms and keywords:&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; Coronary artery bypass grafting, and colloquially heart bypass, bypass, bypass surgery, open heart surgery, or CABG (pronounced like cabbage), aortocoronary bypass (ACB). The term Coronary Artery Graft Surgery (CAGS) is often used outside the United States and should not be confused with [[Coronary angiography|Coronary Angiography (CAG)]]. OPCAB refers to [[Off-pump coronary artery bypass]], a procedure during which the patient is not placed on extracorporeal circulation (&amp;quot;the pump&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Coronary artery bypass surgery overview|Overview]]==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Coronary artery bypass surgery]] ([[Coronary artery bypass surgery|CABG]]) is a [[surgery|surgical]] [[coronary revascularization|revascularization]] procedure that is used to circumvent or bypass blockages in the [[Epicardium|epicardial]] [[coronary arteries]] associated with [[acute coronary syndromes]] (including [[ST elevation MI]], [[non ST elevation MI]], [[unstable angina]]) and [[stable angina]]. The technique was pioneered by Argentine [[cardiac surgeon]] [[René Favaloro]] at the [[Cleveland Clinic]] in the late 1960s. As part of the procedure, [[artery|arteries]] or [[vein]]s from elsewhere in the [[patient]]&#039;s body are [[medical grafting|grafted]] from the [[aorta]] to the [[coronary artery|coronary arteries]] to bypass [[atherosclerosis|atherosclerotic]] [[stenosis|narrowings]] and improve the [[blood]] supply to the [[coronary circulation]] supplying the [[myocardium]] ([[myocardium|heart muscle]]). This surgery is usually performed with the [[heart]] stopped, necessitating the usage of [[cardiopulmonary bypass]]. However, recent advances allow the procedure to be performed with the [[heart]] beating and through smaller [[incisions]]. Currently, about 500,000 [[Coronary artery bypass surgery]] ([[Coronary artery bypass surgery|CABG]]) are performed in the United States each year.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Synonyms and keywords:&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; Coronary artery bypass grafting, and colloquially heart bypass, bypass, bypass surgery, open heart surgery, or CABG (pronounced like cabbage), aortocoronary bypass (ACB). The term Coronary Artery Graft Surgery (CAGS) is often used outside the United States and should not be confused with [[Coronary angiography|Coronary Angiography (CAG)]]. OPCAB refers to [[Off-pump coronary artery bypass]], a procedure during which the patient is not placed on extracorporeal circulation (&amp;quot;the pump&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Coronary artery bypass surgery overview|Overview]]==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Coronary artery bypass surgery]] ([[Coronary artery bypass surgery|CABG]]) is a [[surgery|surgical]] [[coronary revascularization|revascularization]] procedure that is used to circumvent or bypass blockages in the [[Epicardium|epicardial]] [[coronary arteries]] associated with [[acute coronary syndromes]] (including [[ST elevation MI]], [[non ST elevation MI]], [[unstable angina]]) and [[stable angina]]. The technique was pioneered by Argentine [[cardiac surgeon]] [[René Favaloro]] at the [[Cleveland Clinic]] in the late 1960s. As part of the procedure, [[artery|arteries]] or [[vein]]s from elsewhere in the [[patient]]&#039;s body are [[medical grafting|grafted]] from the [[aorta]] to the [[coronary artery|coronary arteries]] to bypass [[atherosclerosis|atherosclerotic]] [[stenosis|narrowings]] and improve the [[blood]] supply to the [[coronary circulation]] supplying the [[myocardium]] ([[myocardium|heart muscle]]). This surgery is usually performed with the [[heart]] stopped, necessitating the usage of [[cardiopulmonary bypass]]. However, recent advances allow the procedure to be performed with the [[heart]] beating and through smaller [[incisions]]. Currently, about 500,000 [[Coronary artery bypass surgery]] ([[Coronary artery bypass surgery|CABG]]) are performed in the United States each year.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Synonyms and keywords:&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; Coronary artery bypass grafting, and colloquially heart bypass, bypass, bypass surgery, open heart surgery, or CABG (pronounced like cabbage), aortocoronary bypass (ACB). The term Coronary Artery Graft Surgery (CAGS) is often used outside the United States and should not be confused with [[Coronary angiography|Coronary Angiography (CAG)]]. OPCAB refers to [[Off-pump coronary artery bypass]], a procedure during which the patient is not placed on extracorporeal circulation (&amp;quot;the pump&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Coronary artery bypass surgery overview|Overview]]==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Coronary artery bypass surgery]] ([[Coronary artery bypass surgery|CABG]]) is a [[surgery|surgical]] [[coronary revascularization|revascularization]] procedure that is used to circumvent or bypass blockages in the [[Epicardium|epicardial]] [[coronary arteries]] associated with [[acute coronary syndromes]] (including [[ST elevation MI]], [[non ST elevation MI]], [[unstable angina]]) and [[stable angina]]. The technique was pioneered by Argentine [[cardiac surgeon]] [[René Favaloro]] at the [[Cleveland Clinic]] in the late 1960s. As part of the procedure, [[artery|arteries]] or [[vein]]s from elsewhere in the [[patient]]&#039;s body are [[medical grafting|grafted]] from the [[aorta]] to the [[coronary artery|coronary arteries]] to bypass [[atherosclerosis|atherosclerotic]] [[stenosis|narrowings]] and improve the [[blood]] supply to the [[coronary circulation]] supplying the [[myocardium]] ([[myocardium|heart muscle]]). This surgery is usually performed with the [[heart]] stopped, necessitating the usage of [[cardiopulmonary bypass]]. However, recent advances allow the procedure to be performed with the [[heart]] beating and through smaller [[incisions]]. Currently, about 500,000 [[Coronary artery bypass surgery]] ([[Coronary artery bypass surgery|CABG]]) are performed in the United States each year.&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Since [[atherosclerotic disease]] of the [[aorta]] is a common finding in [[patients]] who undergo [[CABG]] [[surgery]], usage of [[ultrasonography|epiaortic ultrasonography]] is recommended for identifying [[aorta|aortic]] [[atherosclerosis]]. This imaging has been recognized as the [[Gold standard (test)|gold standard]] for identifying [[aorta|aortic]] [[atherosclerosis]] due to its superiority to either [[surgery|surgical]] digital [[palpation]] or [[transesophageal echocardiography]].&lt;br /&gt;
==Use of Epiaortic Ultrasound in Patients Undergoing CABG==&lt;br /&gt;
*The [[prevalence]] of [[atherosclerotic disease]] of the [[aorta]] ranges from 19% to 90% among [[patients]] who undergo [[CABG]] [[surgery]], based on the [[patient]] population and the [[examination]] modality.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;pmid8091446&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal| author=Dávila-Román VG, Barzilai B, Wareing TH, Murphy SF, Schechtman KB, Kouchoukos NT| title=Atherosclerosis of the ascending aorta.

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Synonyms and keywords:&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; Coronary artery bypass grafting, and colloquially heart bypass, bypass, bypass surgery, open heart surgery, or CABG (pronounced like cabbage), aortocoronary bypass (ACB). The term Coronary Artery Graft Surgery (CAGS) is often used outside the United States and should not be confused with [[Coronary angiography|Coronary Angiography (CAG)]]. OPCAB refers to [[Off-pump coronary artery bypass]], a procedure during which the patient is not placed on extracorporeal circulation (&amp;quot;the pump&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Coronary artery bypass surgery overview|Overview]]==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Coronary artery bypass surgery]] ([[Coronary artery bypass surgery|CABG]]) is a [[surgery|surgical]] [[coronary revascularization|revascularization]] procedure that is used to circumvent or bypass blockages in the [[Epicardium|epicardial]] [[coronary arteries]] associated with [[acute coronary syndromes]] (including [[ST elevation MI]], [[non ST elevation MI]], [[unstable angina]]) and [[stable angina]]. The technique was pioneered by Argentine [[cardiac surgeon]] [[René Favaloro]] at the [[Cleveland Clinic]] in the late 1960s. As part of the procedure, [[artery|arteries]] or [[vein]]s from elsewhere in the [[patient]]&#039;s body are [[medical grafting|grafted]] from the [[aorta]] to the [[coronary artery|coronary arteries]] to bypass [[atherosclerosis|atherosclerotic]] [[stenosis|narrowings]] and improve the [[blood]] supply to the [[coronary circulation]] supplying the [[myocardium]] ([[myocardium|heart muscle]]). This surgery is usually performed with the [[heart]] stopped, necessitating the usage of [[cardiopulmonary bypass]]. However, recent advances allow the procedure to be performed with the [[heart]] beating and through smaller [[incisions]]. Currently, about 500,000 [[Coronary artery bypass surgery]] ([[Coronary artery bypass surgery|CABG]]) are performed in the United States each year.&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Multiple factors should be considered when planning to add [[CABG]] to another planned [[cardiac surgery]] in [[patients]] with significant [[coronary heart disease]]. The presence of any [[comorbidities]], availability of a conduit, and [[left ventricular ejection fraction]] are some of the factors that must be evaluated before making a decision. According to numerous studies, similar long-term survival and [[Quality of life|health-related quality of life]] have been observed in [[patients]] who underwent [[aortic valve replacement]] with concomitant [[CABG]] compared to those without [[coronary heart disease]].&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Synonyms and keywords:&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; Coronary artery bypass grafting, and colloquially heart bypass, bypass, bypass surgery, open heart surgery, or CABG (pronounced like cabbage), aortocoronary bypass (ACB). The term Coronary Artery Graft Surgery (CAGS) is often used outside the United States and should not be confused with [[Coronary angiography|Coronary Angiography (CAG)]]. OPCAB refers to [[Off-pump coronary artery bypass]], a procedure during which the patient is not placed on extracorporeal circulation (&amp;quot;the pump&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Coronary artery bypass surgery overview|Overview]]==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Coronary artery bypass surgery]] ([[Coronary artery bypass surgery|CABG]]) is a [[surgery|surgical]] [[coronary revascularization|revascularization]] procedure that is used to circumvent or bypass blockages in the [[Epicardium|epicardial]] [[coronary arteries]] associated with [[acute coronary syndromes]] (including [[ST elevation MI]], [[non ST elevation MI]], [[unstable angina]]) and [[stable angina]]. The technique was pioneered by Argentine [[cardiac surgeon]] [[René Favaloro]] at the [[Cleveland Clinic]] in the late 1960s. As part of the procedure, [[artery|arteries]] or [[vein]]s from elsewhere in the [[patient]]&#039;s body are [[medical grafting|grafted]] from the [[aorta]] to the [[coronary artery|coronary arteries]] to bypass [[atherosclerosis|atherosclerotic]] [[stenosis|narrowings]] and improve the [[blood]] supply to the [[coronary circulation]] supplying the [[myocardium]] ([[myocardium|heart muscle]]). This surgery is usually performed with the [[heart]] stopped, necessitating the usage of [[cardiopulmonary bypass]]. However, recent advances allow the procedure to be performed with the [[heart]] beating and through smaller [[incisions]]. Currently, about 500,000 [[Coronary artery bypass surgery]] ([[Coronary artery bypass surgery|CABG]]) are performed in the United States each year.&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Antithrombotic therapy]] is a centerpiece [[treatment]] in [[patients]] who are undergoing [[PCI]]. Selection of an optimal [[anticoagulant]] should be done by considering the [[patient]]’s clinical presentation such as [[Chronic stable angina definition|stable ischemic disease]], [[Unstable angina / non ST-elevation myocardial infarction|NSTE-ACS]], or [[STEMI]], and [[bleeding]] probability. [[Intravenous]] [[unfractionated heparin]] is the most common [[anticoagulant]] and has been the standard of care by default, nevertheless, other [[treatments]] such as [[direct thrombin inhibitor]] and [[low molecular weight heparins]] are also common options. Among [[low molecular weight heparins]], [[enoxaparin]] is one of the most used [[treatments]] and is considered a safe alternative for [[UFH]]. Each [[treatment]] has its advantages and disadvantages which should be discussed in a [[patient]]-centered evaluation.  &lt;br /&gt;

*Furthermore, the routine use of full [[dose]] [[anticoagulation therapy]] after [[PCI]] is no longer indicated.&lt;br /&gt;
====Mechanism of action====&lt;br /&gt;
[[Heparin]] is a [[glycosaminoglycan]] of 12-15 kDa that binds [[Anti-thrombin 3]] and facilitates its ability to inhibit [[thrombin|coagulation factors 2a]] ([[thrombin]]) and [[coagulation factor Xa|10a]] by a factor of 1000. [[Thrombin]] plays a central role not only in [[plasma]] [[coagulation]] (by [[catalysing]] [[fibrinogen]] to [[fibrin]] as well as activating several [[coagulation factor]]s) but [[platelet activation]] as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Advantages====&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Physician]] familiarity with the use&lt;br /&gt;
* Level of [[anticoagulation]] can be [[titrate]]d with [[activated clotting time]] ([[activated clotting time|ACT]]). Target [[activated clotting time|ACT]] typically 200-250 with [[coagulation|2b/3a]] and 250-350 without [[coagulation|2b/3a]] (these levels have been empirically derived and target ACT&#039;s have fallen in the [[stent]] era as the risk for [[acute]] [[vessel]] closure has diminished).&lt;br /&gt;
* Can be reversed with [[protamine]] (1mg of [[protamine]] for 100u of [[heparin]] acutely) in case of [[coronary artery perforation]] or [[vascular]] access [[complication]].&lt;br /&gt;
* No [[dose]] adjustment needed for [[renal dysfunction]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Inexpensive&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Disadvantages====&lt;br /&gt;
* Significant [[protein]] binding &lt;br /&gt;
* Monitoring required as the level of [[anticoagulation]] varies widely between [[patients]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Inability to inactive [[clot]]-bound [[thrombin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Does not prevent the [[platelet activation]] of [[thrombin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Risk of [[Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia]] ([[Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia|HIT]]).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Direct thrombin inhibitor===&lt;br /&gt;
====Mechanism of Action====&lt;br /&gt;
* Unlike [[UFH]] or [[low molecular weight heparin]] ([[LMWH]]), [[direct thrombin inhibitor]]s ([[Lepirudin]], [[Argatroban]] and [[Bivalirudin]]) don&#039;t require the help of [[AT3|AT-3]] to exert their [[anticoagulation]] effect. &lt;br /&gt;
*These medicines are [[Intravenous therapy|IV]] only, but there is great interest in developing safe [[oral]] [[Direct thrombin inhibitor|DTI]] to replace [[coumadin]] in the [[DVT]]/[[PE]] and [[atrial fibrillation]] population.&lt;br /&gt;
*The following are some of the [[medications]] belong to this group:&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;DiNisio&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal | author = Di Nisio M, Middeldorp S, Büller H | title = Direct thrombin inhibitors. | journal = N Engl J Med | volume = 353 | issue = 10 | pages = 1028-40 | year = 2005 | id = PMID 16148288}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** [[Bivalirudin]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Desirudin]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Argatroban]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Dabigatran]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Lepirudin]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Bivalirudin]] ([[Angiomax]]) is the only [[Direct thrombin inhibitor|DTI]] used commonly in the [[cath lab]] although the others have been studied.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Advantages====&lt;br /&gt;
* Short [[half life]]. This facilitates early sheath removal after [[PCI]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Can inhibit [[fibrin]]-bound [[thrombin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Simplified [[dosing]] regimen. Can be adjusted for [[patients]] with [[renal insufficiency]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Fewer [[bleeding]] [[complication]]s especially at access site. This advantage increases as [[bleeding]] risk increases due to [[aging|age]] and [[renal insufficiency]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Best regimen for [[patients]] with known [[HIT]]. Both [[argatroban]] and [[bivalirudin]] are acceptable alternatives for use in [[patients]] with [[heparin-induced thrombocytopenia]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;pmid12357516&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal| author=Lewis BE, Matthai WH, Cohen M, Moses JW, Hursting MJ, Leya F | display-authors=etal| title=Argatroban anticoagulation during percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. | journal=Catheter Cardiovasc Interv | year= 2002 | volume= 57 | issue= 2 | pages= 177-84 | pmid=12357516 | doi=10.1002/ccd.10276 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&amp;amp;tool=sumsearch.org/cite&amp;amp;retmode=ref&amp;amp;cmd=prlinks&amp;amp;id=12357516  }} &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;pmid14608128&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal| author=Mahaffey KW, Lewis BE, Wildermann NM, Berkowitz SD, Oliverio RM, Turco MA | display-authors=etal| title=The anticoagulant therapy with bivalirudin to assist in the performance of percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (ATBAT) study: main results. | journal=J Invasive Cardiol | year= 2003 | volume= 15 | issue= 11 | pages= 611-6 | pmid=14608128 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&amp;amp;tool=sumsearch.org/cite&amp;amp;retmode=ref&amp;amp;cmd=prlinks&amp;amp;id=14608128  }} &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Disadvantages====&lt;br /&gt;
* Cost (however this is offset if use of [[bivalirudin]] obviates need for [[coagulation|2b/3a]])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Trials with Bivalirudin====&lt;br /&gt;

**Replace 2: This [[clinical trial|trial]] compared [[bivalirudin]] plus provisional [[coagulation|2b/3a]] (which ended up being given in 7.2% of [[patients]]) vs [[heparin]] with planned [[coagulation|2b/3a]]. In this study of 6010 [[patients]], [[ischemic]] events were similar but major [[bleeding]] (mostly [[vascular]] access site) was reduced by about 40%. There was no [[mortality]] difference at one year despite a 0.8% absolute increase in peri-procedural [[MI]]&#039;s in the [[bivalirudin]] group. Importantly ,85% of [[patients]] were pre-[[treatment|treated]] with [[plavix]] or [[ticlid]]. In Replace 2, [[bivalirudin]] strategy was found to be less expensive because of savings on [[coagulation|2b/3a]] as well as less [[bleeding]].&lt;br /&gt;
**ACUITY: Complex [[clinical trial|trial]] of 13,819 high risk [[UA]] or [[NSTEMI]] [[patients]] undergoing early invasive strategy comparing [[bivalirudin]] alone vs [[Bivalirudin]] with [[coagulation|2b/3a]] vs [[Heparin]] or [[Lovenox]] with [[coagulation|2b/3a]]. It was found that the [[ischemic]] composite endpoint (death, [[MI]], [[revascularization]]) at 30 days was the same in all 3 arms. However, major [[bleeding]] was significantly less with [[bivalirudin]] alone at 3.1% vs [[bivalirudin]] and [[coagulation|2b/3a]] at 5.3% vs [[Heparin]], [[Lovenox]] and [[coagulation|2b/3a]] at 5.7%. Again this was driven mostly by access site [[complication]]s, but unlike in REPLACE 2 the [[bleeding]] endpoints were significant whether one used the study definition or [[TIMI]] definition. A major caveat is also that [[patients]] who did not get [[plavix]] had increased [[ischemic]] events in the [[bivalirudin]] only arm.&lt;br /&gt;
**VALIDATE- SWEDEHEART: This [[clinical trial]] evaluated a prolonged [[bivalirudin]] infusion versus [[UFH]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;pmid28844201&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal| author=Erlinge D, Omerovic E, Fröbert O, Linder R, Danielewicz M, Hamid M | display-authors=etal| title=Bivalirudin versus Heparin Monotherapy in Myocardial Infarction. | journal=N Engl J Med | year= 2017 | volume= 377 | issue= 12 | pages= 1132-1142 | pmid=28844201 | doi=10.1056/NEJMoa1706443 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&amp;amp;tool=sumsearch.org/cite&amp;amp;retmode=ref&amp;amp;cmd=prlinks&amp;amp;id=28844201  }} &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Result did not show any improvement in rates of major adverse cardiovascular events, major [[bleeding]], or [[stent thrombosis]] with [[bivalirudin]] within a 6-month follow up.&lt;br /&gt;
*In conclusion, [[bivalirudin]] is an excellent choice in most [[NSTEMI]]/[[UA]] [[patients]] managed with an early invasive strategy if they have been pre-[[treatment|treated]] with [[clopidogrel]]. If this has not been done then [[coagulation|2b/3a]] will need to be used and the benefits of [[bivalirudin]] are greatly attenuated.&lt;br /&gt;

*Furthermore, the routine use of full [[dose]] [[anticoagulation therapy]] after [[PCI]] is no longer indicated.&lt;br /&gt;
====Mechanism of action====&lt;br /&gt;
[[Heparin]] is a [[glycosaminoglycan]] of 12-15 kDa that binds [[Anti-thrombin 3]] and facilitates its ability to inhibit [[thrombin|coagulation factors 2a]] ([[thrombin]]) and [[coagulation factor Xa|10a]] by a factor of 1000. [[Thrombin]] plays a central role not only in [[plasma]] [[coagulation]] (by [[catalysing]] [[fibrinogen]] to [[fibrin]] as well as activating several [[coagulation factor]]s) but [[platelet activation]] as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Advantages====&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Physician]] familiarity with the use&lt;br /&gt;
* Level of [[anticoagulation]] can be [[titrate]]d with [[activated clotting time]] ([[activated clotting time|ACT]]). Target [[activated clotting time|ACT]] typically 200-250 with [[coagulation|2b/3a]] and 250-350 without [[coagulation|2b/3a]] (these levels have been empirically derived and target ACT&#039;s have fallen in the [[stent]] era as the risk for [[acute]] [[vessel]] closure has diminished).&lt;br /&gt;
* Can be reversed with [[protamine]] (1mg of [[protamine]] for 100u of [[heparin]] acutely) in case of [[coronary artery perforation]] or [[vascular]] access [[complication]].&lt;br /&gt;
* No [[dose]] adjustment needed for [[renal dysfunction]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Inexpensive&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Disadvantages====&lt;br /&gt;
* Significant [[protein]] binding &lt;br /&gt;
* Monitoring required as the level of [[anticoagulation]] varies widely between [[patients]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Inability to inactive [[clot]]-bound [[thrombin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Does not prevent the [[platelet activation]] of [[thrombin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Risk of [[Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia]] ([[Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia|HIT]]).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Direct thrombin inhibitor===&lt;br /&gt;
====Mechanism of Action====&lt;br /&gt;
* Unlike [[UFH]] or [[low molecular weight heparin]] ([[LMWH]]), [[direct thrombin inhibitor]]s ([[Lepirudin]], [[Argatroban]] and [[Bivalirudin]]) don&#039;t require the help of [[AT3|AT-3]] to exert their [[anticoagulation]] effect. &lt;br /&gt;
*These medicines are [[Intravenous therapy|IV]] only, but there is great interest in developing safe [[oral]] [[Direct thrombin inhibitor|DTI]] to replace [[coumadin]] in the [[DVT]]/[[PE]] and [[atrial fibrillation]] population.&lt;br /&gt;
*The following are some of the [[medications]] belong to this group:&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;DiNisio&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal | author = Di Nisio M, Middeldorp S, Büller H | title = Direct thrombin inhibitors. | journal = N Engl J Med | volume = 353 | issue = 10 | pages = 1028-40 | year = 2005 | id = PMID 16148288}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
** [[Bivalirudin]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Desirudin]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Argatroban]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Dabigatran]]&lt;br /&gt;
**[[Lepirudin]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Bivalirudin]] ([[Angiomax]]) is the only [[Direct thrombin inhibitor|DTI]] used commonly in the [[cath lab]] although the others have been studied.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Advantages====&lt;br /&gt;
* Short [[half life]]. This facilitates early sheath removal after [[PCI]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Can inhibit [[fibrin]]-bound [[thrombin]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Simplified [[dosing]] regimen. Can be adjusted for [[patients]] with [[renal insufficiency]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Fewer [[bleeding]] [[complication]]s especially at access site. This advantage increases as [[bleeding]] risk increases due to [[aging|age]] and [[renal insufficiency]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Best regimen for [[patients]] with known [[HIT]]. Both [[argatroban]] and [[bivalirudin]] are acceptable alternatives for use in [[patients]] with [[heparin-induced thrombocytopenia]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;pmid12357516&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal| author=Lewis BE, Matthai WH, Cohen M, Moses JW, Hursting MJ, Leya F | display-authors=etal| title=Argatroban anticoagulation during percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. | journal=Catheter Cardiovasc Interv | year= 2002 | volume= 57 | issue= 2 | pages= 177-84 | pmid=12357516 | doi=10.1002/ccd.10276 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&amp;amp;tool=sumsearch.org/cite&amp;amp;retmode=ref&amp;amp;cmd=prlinks&amp;amp;id=12357516  }} &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;pmid14608128&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal| author=Mahaffey KW, Lewis BE, Wildermann NM, Berkowitz SD, Oliverio RM, Turco MA | display-authors=etal| title=The anticoagulant therapy with bivalirudin to assist in the performance of percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (ATBAT) study: main results. | journal=J Invasive Cardiol | year= 2003 | volume= 15 | issue= 11 | pages= 611-6 | pmid=14608128 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&amp;amp;tool=sumsearch.org/cite&amp;amp;retmode=ref&amp;amp;cmd=prlinks&amp;amp;id=14608128  }} &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Disadvantages====&lt;br /&gt;
*Cost (however this is offset if use of [[bivalirudin]] obviates need for [[coagulation|2b/3a]])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Trials with Bivalirudin====&lt;br /&gt;

**Replace 2: This [[clinical trial|trial]] compared [[bivalirudin]] plus provisional [[coagulation|2b/3a]] (which ended up being given in 7.2% of [[patients]]) vs [[heparin]] with planned [[coagulation|2b/3a]]. In this study of 6010 [[patients]], [[ischemic]] events were similar but major [[bleeding]] (mostly [[vascular]] access site) was reduced by about 40%. There was no [[mortality]] difference at one year despite a 0.8% absolute increase in peri-procedural [[MI]]&#039;s in the [[bivalirudin]] group. Importantly ,85% of [[patients]] were pre-[[treatment|treated]] with [[plavix]] or [[ticlid]]. In Replace 2, [[bivalirudin]] strategy was found to be less expensive because of savings on [[coagulation|2b/3a]] as well as less [[bleeding]].&lt;br /&gt;
**ACUITY: Complex [[clinical trial|trial]] of 13,819 high risk [[UA]] or [[NSTEMI]] [[patients]] undergoing early invasive strategy comparing [[bivalirudin]] alone vs [[Bivalirudin]] with [[coagulation|2b/3a]] vs [[Heparin]] or [[Lovenox]] with [[coagulation|2b/3a]]. It was found that the [[ischemic]] composite endpoint (death, [[MI]], [[revascularization]]) at 30 days was the same in all 3 arms. However, major [[bleeding]] was significantly less with [[bivalirudin]] alone at 3.1% vs [[bivalirudin]] and [[coagulation|2b/3a]] at 5.3% vs [[Heparin]], [[Lovenox]] and [[coagulation|2b/3a]] at 5.7%. Again this was driven mostly by access site [[complication]]s, but unlike in REPLACE 2 the [[bleeding]] endpoints were significant whether one used the study definition or [[TIMI]] definition. A major caveat is also that [[patients]] who did not get [[plavix]] had increased [[ischemic]] events in the [[bivalirudin]] only arm.&lt;br /&gt;
**VALIDATE- SWEDEHEART: This [[clinical trial]] evaluated a prolonged [[bivalirudin]] infusion versus [[UFH]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;pmid28844201&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal| author=Erlinge D, Omerovic E, Fröbert O, Linder R, Danielewicz M, Hamid M | display-authors=etal| title=Bivalirudin versus Heparin Monotherapy in Myocardial Infarction. | journal=N Engl J Med | year= 2017 | volume= 377 | issue= 12 | pages= 1132-1142 | pmid=28844201 | doi=10.1056/NEJMoa1706443 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&amp;amp;tool=sumsearch.org/cite&amp;amp;retmode=ref&amp;amp;cmd=prlinks&amp;amp;id=28844201  }} &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Result did not show any improvement in rates of major adverse cardiovascular events, major [[bleeding]], or [[stent thrombosis]] with [[bivalirudin]] within a 6-month follow up.&lt;br /&gt;
*In conclusion, [[bivalirudin]] is an excellent choice in most [[NSTEMI]]/[[UA]] [[patients]] managed with an early invasive strategy if they have been pre-[[treatment|treated]] with [[clopidogrel]]. If this has not been done then [[coagulation|2b/3a]] will need to be used and the benefits of [[bivalirudin]] are greatly attenuated.&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
There are some critical [[Anesthesia|anesthetic considerations]] for [[coronary artery bypass surgery]]. Based on the 2021 ACA Revascularization guideline, usage of fast-track [[cardiac]] [[anesthesia]] which uses [[anesthesia|short-acting anesthetic agents]] is recommended due to a better outcome. Furthermore, it is recommended to avoid [[opioid]] [[medications]] and replace them with non-[[opioid]] options, such as [[acetaminophen]], [[ketamine]], and [[dexmedetomidine]], and/or [[Regional anesthesia|regional techniques]] such as truncal [[nerve]] blocks. There is evidence supporting that [[Volatile anaesthetic]] may facilitate earlier [[extubation]] compared to [[intraveous]] choices. Furthermore, it is recommended to utilize an [[surgery|intraoperative]] [[lung]]-protective [[ventilation]] strategy, which is associated with better [[lung|pulmonary mechanics]] and reduced [[surgery|postoperative]] [[lung|pulmonary]] [[complications]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
The choice of conduits ([[artery|arteries]] and/or [[veins]] from elsewhere in the body) to [[bypass]] the blockages is highly [[surgery|surgeon]] and institution dependent. To choose the proper conduits for [[CABG]] both clinical and technical factors such as [[life expectancy]], presence of [[diabetes]], chronic renal failure, and degree of the target [[stenosis]] must be considered. [[Saphenous vein]], [[internal thoracic artery]], and [[radial artery]] are the most used [[vessels]] to harvest for [[grafting]]. The [[saphenous vein]] can be harvested by either direct visualization or via an [[endoscopy|endoscopic approach]]. Among these two methods the [[endoscopy|endoscopic approach]] has been associated with lower rates of [[wound]] [[infection]], greater [[patient]] satisfaction, and earlier mobilization. However, non-[[randomized]] data from a much larger multicenter study does suggest that [[endoscopyendoscopic harvesting]] may be associated with a higher rate of failure and adverse events such as death and [[MI]]. [[Veins]] that are used either have their valves removed or are turned around so that the [[valves]] in them do not occlude [[blood flow]] in the [[graft]]. On the other hand, numerous studies support the use of the [[Internal thoracic artery|left internal thoracic artery]] ([[Internal thoracic artery|LITA]]) (also known as the [[Internal thoracic artery|left internal mammary artery]] ([[Internal thoracic artery|LIMA]])) to [[graft]] the [[LAD]] in order to improve survival unless [[contraindications|contraindicated]]. Evidence shows that the right [[IMA]] can be used to [[graft]] the [[LAD]] if the [[LIMA]] is impractical and unusable. Furthermore, the right [[IMA]] can be used in conjunction with the [[LIMA]] which is called bilateral [[internal mammary artery]] (BIMA) [[grafting]]. The latter method showed a better outcome based on multiple studies. In multiple [[artery|arterial]] [[revascularization]] during [[Coronary artery bypass surgery]], the [[Internal thoracic artery|right internal thoracic artery]] ([[Internal thoracic artery|RITA]]) has been proofed to be a better choice as a conduit than the [[radial artery]]. On the other hand, numerous [[clinical trials]] have demonstrated better patency rates (in mid- and long-term) when the [[radial artery]] is used in comparison with the [[saphenous vein]].&lt;br /&gt;

| Assessing [[Anatomical terms of location|palmar arch]] completeness and [[ulna|ulnar]] compensation before harvesting the [[radial artery]]. If [[radial artery]] harvesting is considered it is recommended to use the [[arm]] with the best [[ulna|ulnar compensation]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to use [[radial artery]] [[grafts]] to target [[vessels]] with [[stenosis|subocclusive stenosis]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to avoid [[radial artery]] use after [[Radial artery catheterization|transradial catheterization]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to avoid [[radial artery]] use in [[chronic kidney disease]] [[patients]] and in those with a high likelihood of rapid progression to [[hemodialysis]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to avoid [[oral]] [[calcium channel blockers]] for the first [[surgery|postoperative]] year after [[radial artery]] [[grafting]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to avoid bilateral [[percutaneous]] or [[surgery|surgical]] [[radial artery]] procedures in [[patients]] with [[coronary artery disease]] with a goal to preserve the [[artery]] for future use.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to use the [[internal mammary artery]] (using the skeletonization technique) to reduce the risk of [[Sternum|sternal]] [[wound]] [[complications]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to use an [[endoscopy|endoscopic]] [[saphenous vein]] harvest technique in [[patients]] at risk of [[wound]] [[complications]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| For [[patients]] at low risk of [[wound]] [[complications]], it is recommended to use a no-touch [[saphenous vein]] harvest technique.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to use the skeletonized [[right gastroepiploic artery]] to [[graft]] [[right coronary artery]] target [[vessels]] with subocclusive [[stenosis]] if the operator is experienced with the use of the [[artery]].&lt;br /&gt;

*Typically, the left [[internal thoracic artery]] ([[Internal thoracic artery|LITA]]) (also referred to as the &#039;&#039;[[left internal mammary artery]]&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;[[LIMA]]&#039;&#039;) is grafted to the [[Left Anterior Descending]] [[artery]] and a combination of other [[artery|arteries]] and [[veins]] is used for other [[coronary arteries]]. &lt;br /&gt;
*The right [[internal thoracic artery]] ([[Internal thoracic artery|RITA]]), the [[great saphenous vein]] from the [[leg]] and the [[radial artery]] from the forearm are frequently used. &lt;br /&gt;
*The [[right gastroepiploic artery]] from the [[stomach]] is infrequently used given the difficult mobilization from the [[abdomen]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Saphenous vein==&lt;br /&gt;
===Saphenous vein anatomy===&lt;br /&gt;
*The [[great saphenous vein]] ([[GSV]]) is frequently used as a conduit for [[CABG]]. It originates from where the dorsal [[vein]] of the [[first digit]] (the large [[toe]]) merges with the [[dorsal venous arch of the foot]].&lt;br /&gt;
*After passing [[Anatomical terms of location|anterior]] to the [[medial malleolus]] (where it often can be visualized and [[Palpation|palpated]]), it runs up the [[medial]] side of the [[leg]]. At [[knee]], it runs over the [[Anatomical terms of location|posterior border]] of the [[medial epicondyle]] of the [[femur]] bone.&lt;br /&gt;
*The [[great saphenous vein]] then courses [[Anatomical terms of location|laterally]] to lie on the [[Anatomical terms of location|anterior surface]] of the [[thigh]] before entering an opening in the [[fascia lata]] called the [[saphenous opening]]. It joins with the [[femoral vein]] in the region of the [[femoral triangle]] at the saphenofemoral junction.&lt;br /&gt;
*The &#039;&#039;&#039;small [[saphenous vein]]&#039;&#039;&#039; (also &#039;&#039;&#039;lesser [[saphenous vein]]&#039;&#039;&#039;) originates where the [[Anatomical terms of location|dorsal]] [[vein]] from the [[fifth digit]] (smallest [[toe]]) merges with the [[dorsal [[venous]] arch of the [[foot]], which attaches to the [[great saphenous vein]]. It is considered a [[superficial vein]] and is [[subcutaneous]] (just under the [[skin]]). From its origin, it courses around the lateral aspect of the [[foot]] ([[Anatomical terms of location|inferior]] and [[Anatomical terms of location|posterior]] to the [[lateral malleolus]]) and runs along the [[Anatomical terms of location|posterior]] aspect of the [[leg]] (with the [[sural nerve]]), passes between the heads of the [[gastrocnemius muscle]], and drains into the [[popliteal vein]], approximately at or above the level of the [[knee]] [[joint]].&lt;br /&gt;

====Saphenous vein harvesting====&lt;br /&gt;
*The [[saphenous vein]] can be harvested by either direct visualization or via an [[endoscopy|endoscopic approach]]. [[Veins]] that are used either have their valves removed or are turned around so that the [[valves]] in them do not occlude [[blood flow]] in the [[graft]]. The technique of [[saphenous vein]] harvesting may influence later [[SVG]] patency. The process of harvesting the [[vein]] and [[pressure]] testing the [[vein]] for a leak may damage the [[endothelium]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Lawrie GM, Weilbacher DE, Henry PD.

&lt;br /&gt;
==Conduit Nomenclature==&lt;br /&gt;
*The terms &#039;&#039;single bypass&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;double bypass&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;triple bypass&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;quadruple bypass&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;quintuple bypass&#039;&#039; refer to the number of [[coronary arteries]] [[Coronary artery bypass surgery|bypassed]] in the procedure. In other words, a double [[bypass]] means two [[coronary arteries]] are [[bypass|bypassed]] (such as [[left anterior descending|left anterior descending (LAD)]] [[coronary artery]] and [[right coronary artery|right coronary artery (RCA)]]); a triple [[bypass]] means three [[vessels]] are [[bypass|bypassed]] (such as [[LAD]], [[RCA]], and [[left circumflex artery|left circumflex artery (LCX)]]); a quadruple [[bypass]] means four vessels are bypassed (such as [[LAD]], [[RCA]], [[LCX]], first [[Left coronary artery|diagonal artery]] of the [[LAD]]). Less commonly more than four [[coronary arteries]] may be bypassed.&lt;br /&gt;
*A greater number of bypasses does not imply a [[patient]] is &amp;quot;sicker,&amp;quot; nor does a lesser number imply a [[patient]] is &amp;quot;healthier&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal |author=Ohki S, Kaneko T, Satoh Y, &#039;&#039;et al&#039;&#039; |title=[Coronary artery bypass grafting in octogenarian] |language=Japanese |journal=Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery |volume=55 |issue=10 |pages=829–33; discussion 833–6 |year=2002 |pmid=12233100 |doi=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
*A [[patient]] with a large amount of [[coronary artery disease|coronary artery disease]] ([[coronary artery disease|CAD]]) may receive fewer [[bypass]] [[grafts]] owing to the lack of suitable &amp;quot;target&amp;quot; [[vessels]].  &lt;br /&gt;
*A [[patient]] with a single [[stenosis]] of the [[Left coronary artery|left main]] [[coronary artery]] often requires only two [[bypasses]] (to the [[LAD]] and the [[LCX]]). However, depending upon the [[anatomy]], grafts may also need to be placed to a large [[diagonal artery]], or to additional large [[obtuse marginal]] branches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Assessment of Target Vessels for Bypass Grafting==&lt;br /&gt;
A [[coronary artery]] may be unsuitable for [[bypass]] [[grafting]] for the following reasons:&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Size:&#039;&#039;&#039; If the native target [[artery]] it is small (&amp;lt; 1 mm or &amp;lt; 1.5 mm depending on surgeon preference)&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Location:&#039;&#039;&#039; Some [[Anatomical terms of location|distal locations]] of the native target [[artery]] may not be accessible, or a conduit may not reach far down the native [[artery]].&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Native artery calcification:&#039;&#039;&#039; Heavily [[calcification|calcified]] native [[arteries]] are sometimes technically not amenable to [[anastomosis]] of a conduit.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Diffuse disease:&#039;&#039;&#039; The native [[artery]] may not have a section of the [[vessel]] that has a minimal [[disease]] where a conduit can be [[grafting|grafted]] to.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;The native [[artery]] lies in the [[heart]] [[muscle]] or is intramyocardial:&#039;&#039;&#039; In this scenario, the native [[coronary artery]] is located within the [[heart]] [[muscle]] rather than on the surface of the [[heart]] and a [[graft]] cannot be attached to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the cardiothoracic surgeon reviews the [[coronary angiogram]] prior to [[surgery]] and identifies the [[lesions]] (or &amp;quot;blockages&amp;quot;) in the [[coronary arteries]] and will estimate the number of [[bypass]] [[grafts]] prior to [[surgery]], the final decision is made in the [[surgery|operating room]] based upon the direct examination of the [[heart]] and the suitability of the native target [[vessel]] for [[bypass|bypassing]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Conduits used for bypass==&lt;br /&gt;
*The choice of conduits ([[artery|arteries]] and/or [[veins]] from elsewhere in the body) to [[bypass]] the blockages is highly [[surgery|surgeon]] and institution dependent.&lt;br /&gt;
*To choose the proper conduits for [[CABG]] both clinical and technical factors such as [[life expectancy]], presence of [[diabetes]], chronic renal failure, and degree of the target [[stenosis]] must be considered.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;pmid34895950&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal| author=Writing Committee Members.

| Assessing [[Anatomical terms of location|palmar arch]] completeness and [[ulna|ulnar]] compensation before harvesting the [[radial artery]]. If [[radial artery]] harvesting is considered it is recommended to use the [[arm]] with the best [[ulna|ulnar compensation]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to use [[radial artery]] [[grafts]] to target [[vessels]] with [[stenosis|subocclusive stenosis]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to avoid [[radial artery]] use after [[Radial artery catheterization|transradial catheterization]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to avoid [[radial artery]] use in [[chronic kidney disease]] [[patients]] and in those with a high likelihood of rapid progression to [[hemodialysis]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to avoid [[oral]] [[calcium channel blockers]] for the first [[surgery|postoperative]] year after [[radial artery]] [[grafting]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to avoid bilateral [[percutaneous]] or [[surgery|surgical]] [[radial artery]] procedures in [[patients]] with [[coronary artery disease]] with a goal to preserve the [[artery]] for future use.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to use the [[internal mammary artery]] (using the skeletonization technique) to reduce the risk of [[Sternum|sternal]] [[wound]] [[complications]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to use an [[endoscopy|endoscopic]] [[saphenous vein]] harvest technique in [[patients]] at risk of [[wound]] [[complications]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| For [[patients]] at low risk of [[wound]] [[complications]], it is recommended to use a no-touch [[saphenous vein]] harvest technique.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to use the skeletonized [[right gastroepiploic artery]] to [[graft]] [[right coronary artery]] target [[vessels]] with subocclusive [[stenosis]] if the operator is experienced with the use of the [[artery]].&lt;br /&gt;

*Typically, the left [[internal thoracic artery]] ([[Internal thoracic artery|LITA]]) (also referred to as the &#039;&#039;[[left internal mammary artery]]&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;[[LIMA]]&#039;&#039;) is grafted to the [[Left Anterior Descending]] [[artery]] and a combination of other [[artery|arteries]] and [[veins]] is used for other [[coronary arteries]]. &lt;br /&gt;
*The right [[internal thoracic artery]] ([[Internal thoracic artery|RITA]]), the [[great saphenous vein]] from the [[leg]] and the [[radial artery]] from the forearm are frequently used. &lt;br /&gt;
*The [[right gastroepiploic artery]] from the [[stomach]] is infrequently used given the difficult mobilization from the [[abdomen]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Saphenous vein==&lt;br /&gt;
===Saphenous vein anatomy===&lt;br /&gt;
*The [[great saphenous vein]] ([[GSV]]) is frequently used as a conduit for [[CABG]]. It originates from where the dorsal [[vein]] of the [[first digit]] (the large [[toe]]) merges with the [[dorsal venous arch of the foot]].&lt;br /&gt;
*After passing [[Anatomical terms of location|anterior]] to the [[medial malleolus]] (where it often can be visualized and [[Palpation|palpated]]), it runs up the [[medial]] side of the [[leg]]. At [[knee]], it runs over the [[Anatomical terms of location|posterior border]] of the [[medial epicondyle]] of the [[femur]] bone.&lt;br /&gt;
*The [[great saphenous vein]] then courses [[Anatomical terms of location|laterally]] to lie on the [[Anatomical terms of location|anterior surface]] of the [[thigh]] before entering an opening in the [[fascia lata]] called the [[saphenous opening]]. It joins with the [[femoral vein]] in the region of the [[femoral triangle]] at the saphenofemoral junction.&lt;br /&gt;
*The &#039;&#039;&#039;small [[saphenous vein]]&#039;&#039;&#039; (also &#039;&#039;&#039;lesser [[saphenous vein]]&#039;&#039;&#039;) originates where the [[Anatomical terms of location|dorsal]] [[vein]] from the [[fifth digit]] (smallest [[toe]]) merges with the [[dorsal [[venous]] arch of the [[foot]], which attaches to the [[great saphenous vein]]. It is considered a [[superficial vein]] and is [[subcutaneous]] (just under the [[skin]]). From its origin, it courses around the lateral aspect of the [[foot]] ([[Anatomical terms of location|inferior]] and [[Anatomical terms of location|posterior]] to the [[lateral malleolus]]) and runs along the [[Anatomical terms of location|posterior]] aspect of the [[leg]] (with the [[sural nerve]]), passes between the heads of the [[gastrocnemius muscle]], and drains into the [[popliteal vein]], approximately at or above the level of the [[knee]] [[joint]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
====Saphenous vein harvesting====&lt;br /&gt;
*The [[saphenous vein]] can be harvested by either direct visualization or via an [[endoscopy|endoscopic approach]]. [[Veins]] that are used either have their valves removed or are turned around so that the [[valves]] in them do not occlude [[blood flow]] in the [[graft]]. The technique of [[saphenous vein]] harvesting may influence later [[SVG]] patency. The process of harvesting the [[vein]] and [[pressure]] testing the [[vein]] for a leak may damage the [[endothelium]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Lawrie GM, Weilbacher DE, Henry PD.

**The [[right internal thoracic artery]] (RITA) is the best second conduit for the [[bypass]] and has better long-term outcomes than the [[radial artery]]. The use of the [[Internal thoracic artery|RITA]] results in the following in comparison with [[SVG]]:&lt;br /&gt;

*There have been good clinical results with the single left [[internal thoracic artery]] [[grafting]] compared with [[saphenous vein]] [[grafting]]. This prompted surgeons to use both ITAs.

*It&#039;s easy to harvest the [[radial artery]], but it has a higher risk for [[vasospasm]] and [[atherosclerosis]] than the [[right internal thoracic artery]] ([[RITA]]).

&lt;br /&gt;
==Conduit Nomenclature==&lt;br /&gt;
*The terms &#039;&#039;single bypass&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;double bypass&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;triple bypass&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;quadruple bypass&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;quintuple bypass&#039;&#039; refer to the number of [[coronary arteries]] [[Coronary artery bypass surgery|bypassed]] in the procedure. In other words, a double [[bypass]] means two [[coronary arteries]] are [[bypass|bypassed]] (such as [[left anterior descending|left anterior descending (LAD)]] [[coronary artery]] and [[right coronary artery|right coronary artery (RCA)]]); a triple [[bypass]] means three [[vessels]] are [[bypass|bypassed]] (such as [[LAD]], [[RCA]], and [[left circumflex artery|left circumflex artery (LCX)]]); a quadruple [[bypass]] means four vessels are bypassed (such as [[LAD]], [[RCA]], [[LCX]], first [[Left coronary artery|diagonal artery]] of the [[LAD]]). Less commonly more than four [[coronary arteries]] may be bypassed.&lt;br /&gt;
*A greater number of bypasses does not imply a [[patient]] is &amp;quot;sicker,&amp;quot; nor does a lesser number imply a [[patient]] is &amp;quot;healthier&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal |author=Ohki S, Kaneko T, Satoh Y, &#039;&#039;et al&#039;&#039; |title=[Coronary artery bypass grafting in octogenarian] |language=Japanese |journal=Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery |volume=55 |issue=10 |pages=829–33; discussion 833–6 |year=2002 |pmid=12233100 |doi=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
*A [[patient]] with a large amount of [[coronary artery disease|coronary artery disease]] ([[coronary artery disease|CAD]]) may receive fewer [[bypass]] [[grafts]] owing to the lack of suitable &amp;quot;target&amp;quot; [[vessels]].  &lt;br /&gt;
*A [[patient]] with a single [[stenosis]] of the [[Left coronary artery|left main]] [[coronary artery]] often requires only two [[bypasses]] (to the [[LAD]] and the [[LCX]]). However, depending upon the [[anatomy]], grafts may also need to be placed to a large [[diagonal artery]], or to additional large [[obtuse marginal]] branches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Assessment of Target Vessels for Bypass Grafting==&lt;br /&gt;
A [[coronary artery]] may be unsuitable for [[bypass]] [[grafting]] for the following reasons:&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Size:&#039;&#039;&#039; If the native target [[artery]] it is small (&amp;lt; 1 mm or &amp;lt; 1.5 mm depending on surgeon preference)&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Location:&#039;&#039;&#039; Some [[Anatomical terms of location|distal locations]] of the native target [[artery]] may not be accessible, or a conduit may not reach far down the native [[artery]].&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Native artery calcification:&#039;&#039;&#039; Heavily [[calcification|calcified]] native [[arteries]] are sometimes technically not amenable to [[anastomosis]] of a conduit.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Diffuse disease:&#039;&#039;&#039; The native [[artery]] may not have a section of the [[vessel]] that has a minimal [[disease]] where a conduit can be [[grafting|grafted]] to.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;The native [[artery]] lies in the [[heart]] [[muscle]] or is intramyocardial:&#039;&#039;&#039; In this scenario, the native [[coronary artery]] is located within the [[heart]] [[muscle]] rather than on the surface of the [[heart]] and a [[graft]] cannot be attached to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the cardiothoracic surgeon reviews the [[coronary angiogram]] prior to [[surgery]] and identifies the [[lesions]] (or &amp;quot;blockages&amp;quot;) in the [[coronary arteries]] and will estimate the number of [[bypass]] [[grafts]] prior to [[surgery]], the final decision is made in the [[surgery|operating room]] based upon the direct examination of the [[heart]] and the suitability of the native target [[vessel]] for [[bypass|bypassing]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Conduits used for bypass==&lt;br /&gt;
*The choice of conduits ([[artery|arteries]] and/or [[veins]] from elsewhere in the body) to [[bypass]] the blockages is highly [[surgery|surgeon]] and institution dependent.&lt;br /&gt;
*To choose the proper conduits for [[CABG]] both clinical and technical factors such as [[life expectancy]], presence of [[diabetes]], chronic renal failure, degree of the target [[stenosis]] must be considered.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;pmid34895950&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal| author=Writing Committee Members.

| Assessing [[Anatomical terms of location|palmar arch]] completeness and [[ulna|ulnar]] compensation before harvesting the [[radial artery]]. If [[radial artery]] harvesting is considered it is recommended to use the [[arm]] with the best [[ulna|ulnar compensation]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to use [[radial artery]] [[grafts]] to target [[vessels]] with [[stenosis|subocclusive stenosis]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to avoid [[radial artery]] use after [[Radial artery catheterization|transradial catheterization]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to avoid [[radial artery]] use in [[chronic kidney disease]] [[patients]] and in those with a high likelihood of rapid progression to [[hemodialysis]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to avoid [[oral]] [[calcium channel blockers]] for the first [[surgery|postoperative]] year after [[radial artery]] [[grafting]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to avoid bilateral [[percutaneous]] or [[surgery|surgical]] [[radial artery]] procedures in [[patients]] with [[coronary artery disease]] with a goal to preserve the [[artery]] for future use.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to use the [[internal mammary artery]] (using the skeletonization technique) to reduce the risk of [[Sternum|sternal]] [[wound]] [[complications]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to use an [[endoscopy|endoscopic]] [[saphenous vein]] harvest technique in [[patients]] at risk of [[wound]] [[complications]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| For [[patients]] at low risk of [[wound]] [[complications]], it is recommended to use a no-touch [[saphenous vein]] harvest technique.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to use the skeletonized [[right gastroepiploic artery]] to [[graft]] [[right coronary artery]] target [[vessels]] with subocclusive [[stenosis]] if the operator is experienced with the use of the [[artery]].&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
*Typically, the left [[internal thoracic artery]] ([[Internal thoracic artery|LITA]]) (also referred to as the &#039;&#039;[[left internal mammary artery]]&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;[[LIMA]]&#039;&#039;) is grafted to the [[Left Anterior Descending]] [[artery]] and a combination of other [[artery|arteries]] and [[veins]] is used for other [[coronary arteries]]. &lt;br /&gt;
*The right [[internal thoracic artery]] ([[Internal thoracic artery|RITA]]), the [[great saphenous vein]] from the [[leg]] and the [[radial artery]] from the forearm are frequently used. &lt;br /&gt;
*The [[right gastroepiploic artery]] from the [[stomach]] is infrequently used given the difficult mobilization from the [[abdomen]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Saphenous vein==&lt;br /&gt;
===Saphenous vein anatomy===&lt;br /&gt;
*The [[great saphenous vein]] ([[GSV]]) is frequently used as a conduit for [[CABG]]. It originates from where the dorsal [[vein]] of the [[first digit]] (the large [[toe]]) merges with the [[dorsal venous arch of the foot]].&lt;br /&gt;
*After passing [[Anatomical terms of location|anterior]] to the [[medial malleolus]] (where it often can be visualized and [[Palpation|palpated]]), it runs up the [[medial]] side of the [[leg]]. At [[knee]], it runs over the [[Anatomical terms of location|posterior border]] of the [[medial epicondyle]] of the [[femur]] bone.&lt;br /&gt;
*The [[great saphenous vein]] then courses [[Anatomical terms of location|laterally]] to lie on the [[Anatomical terms of location|anterior surface]] of the [[thigh]] before entering an opening in the [[fascia lata]] called the [[saphenous opening]]. It joins with the [[femoral vein]] in the region of the [[femoral triangle]] at the saphenofemoral junction.&lt;br /&gt;
*The &#039;&#039;&#039;small [[saphenous vein]]&#039;&#039;&#039; (also &#039;&#039;&#039;lesser [[saphenous vein]]&#039;&#039;&#039;) originates where the [[Anatomical terms of location|dorsal]] [[vein]] from the [[fifth digit]] (smallest [[toe]]) merges with the [[dorsal [[venous]] arch of the [[foot]], which attaches to the [[great saphenous vein]]. It is considered a [[superficial vein]] and is [[subcutaneous]] (just under the [[skin]]). From its origin, it courses around the lateral aspect of the [[foot]] ([[Anatomical terms of location|inferior]] and [[Anatomical terms of location|posterior]] to the [[lateral malleolus]]) and runs along the [[Anatomical terms of location|posterior]] aspect of the [[leg]] (with the [[sural nerve]]), passes between the heads of the [[gastrocnemius muscle]], and drains into the [[popliteal vein]], approximately at or above the level of the [[knee]] [[joint]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
====Saphenous vein harvesting====&lt;br /&gt;
*The [[saphenous vein]] can be harvested by either direct visualization or via an [[endoscopy|endoscopic approach]]. [[Veins]] that are used either have their valves removed or are turned around so that the [[valves]] in them do not occlude [[blood flow]] in the [[graft]]. The technique of [[saphenous vein]] harvesting may influence later [[SVG]] patency. The process of harvesting the [[vein]] and [[pressure]] testing the [[vein]] for a leak may damage the [[endothelium]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Lawrie GM, Weilbacher DE, Henry PD.

&lt;br /&gt;
==Conduit Nomenclature==&lt;br /&gt;
*The terms &#039;&#039;single bypass&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;double bypass&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;triple bypass&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;quadruple bypass&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;quintuple bypass&#039;&#039; refer to the number of [[coronary arteries]] [[Coronary artery bypass surgery|bypassed]] in the procedure. In other words, a double [[bypass]] means two [[coronary arteries]] are [[bypass|bypassed]] (such as [[left anterior descending|left anterior descending (LAD)]] [[coronary artery]] and [[right coronary artery|right coronary artery (RCA)]]); a triple [[bypass]] means three [[vessels]] are [[bypass|bypassed]] (such as [[LAD]], [[RCA]], and [[left circumflex artery|left circumflex artery (LCX)]]); a quadruple [[bypass]] means four vessels are bypassed (such as [[LAD]], [[RCA]], [[LCX]], first [[Left coronary artery|diagonal artery]] of the [[LAD]]). Less commonly more than four [[coronary arteries]] may be bypassed.&lt;br /&gt;
*A greater number of bypasses does not imply a [[patient]] is &amp;quot;sicker,&amp;quot; nor does a lesser number imply a [[patient]] is &amp;quot;healthier&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal |author=Ohki S, Kaneko T, Satoh Y, &#039;&#039;et al&#039;&#039; |title=[Coronary artery bypass grafting in octogenarian] |language=Japanese |journal=Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery |volume=55 |issue=10 |pages=829–33; discussion 833–6 |year=2002 |pmid=12233100 |doi=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
*A [[patient]] with a large amount of [[coronary artery disease|coronary artery disease]] ([[coronary artery disease|CAD]]) may receive fewer [[bypass]] [[grafts]] owing to the lack of suitable &amp;quot;target&amp;quot; [[vessels]].  &lt;br /&gt;
*A [[patient]] with a single [[stenosis]] of the [[Left coronary artery|left main]] [[coronary artery]] often requires only two [[bypasses]] (to the [[LAD]] and the [[LCX]]). However, depending upon the [[anatomy]], grafts may also need to be placed to a large [[diagonal artery]], or to additional large [[obtuse marginal]] branches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Assessment of Target Vessels for Bypass Grafting==&lt;br /&gt;
A [[coronary artery]] may be unsuitable for [[bypass]] [[grafting]] for the following reasons:&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Size:&#039;&#039;&#039; If the native target [[artery]] it is small (&amp;lt; 1 mm or &amp;lt; 1.5 mm depending on surgeon preference)&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Location:&#039;&#039;&#039; Some [[Anatomical terms of location|distal locations]] of the native target [[artery]] may not be accessible, or a conduit may not reach far down the native [[artery]].&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Native artery calcification:&#039;&#039;&#039; Heavily [[calcification|calcified]] native [[arteries]] are sometimes technically not amenable to [[anastomosis]] of a conduit.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Diffuse disease:&#039;&#039;&#039; The native [[artery]] may not have a section of the [[vessel]] that has a minimal [[disease]] where a conduit can be [[grafting|grafted]] to.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;The native [[artery]] lies in the [[heart]] [[muscle]] or is intramyocardial:&#039;&#039;&#039; In this scenario, the native [[coronary artery]] is located within the [[heart]] [[muscle]] rather than on the surface of the [[heart]] and a [[graft]] cannot be attached to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the cardiothoracic surgeon reviews the [[coronary angiogram]] prior to [[surgery]] and identifies the [[lesions]] (or &amp;quot;blockages&amp;quot;) in the [[coronary arteries]] and will estimate the number of [[bypass]] [[grafts]] prior to [[surgery]], the final decision is made in the [[surgery|operating room]] based upon the direct examination of the [[heart]] and the suitability of the native target [[vessel]] for [[bypass|bypassing]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Conduits used for bypass==&lt;br /&gt;
*The choice of conduits ([[artery|arteries]] and/or [[veins]] from elsewhere in the body) to [[bypass]] the blockages is highly [[surgery|surgeon]] and institution dependent.&lt;br /&gt;
*To choose the proper conduits for [[CABG]] both clinical and technical factors such as [[life expectancy]], presence of [[diabetes]], chronic renal failure, degree of the target [[stenosis]] must be considered.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;pmid34895950&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal| author=Writing Committee Members.

| Assessing [[Anatomical terms of location|palmar arch]] completeness and [[ulna|ulnar]] compensation before harvesting the [[radial artery]]. If [[radial artery]] harvesting is considered it is recommended to use the [[arm]] with the best [[ulna|ulnar compensation]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to use [[radial artery]] [[grafts]] to target [[vessels]] with [[stenosis|subocclusive stenosis]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to avoid [[radial artery]] use after [[Radial artery catheterization|transradial catheterization]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to avoid [[radial artery]] use in [[chronic kidney disease]] [[patients]] and in those with a high likelihood of rapid progression to [[hemodialysis]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to avoid [[oral]] [[calcium channel blockers]] for the first [[surgery|postoperative]] year after [[radial artery]] [[grafting]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to avoid bilateral [[percutaneous]] or [[surgery|surgical]] [[radial artery]] procedures in [[patients]] with [[coronary artery disease]] with a goal to preserve the [[artery]] for future use.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to use the [[internal mammary artery]] (using the skeletonization technique) to reduce the risk of [[Sternum|sternal]] [[wound]] [[complications]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to use an [[endoscopy|endoscopic]] [[saphenous vein]] harvest technique in [[patients]] at risk of [[wound]] [[complications]].&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| For [[patients]] at low risk of [[wound]] [[complications]], it is recommended to use a no-touch [[saphenous vein]] harvest technique.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| It is recommended to use the skeletonized [[right gastroepiploic artery]] to [[graft]] [[right coronary artery]] target [[vessels]] with subocclusive [[stenosis]] if the operator is experienced with the use of the [[artery]].&lt;br /&gt;

*Typically, the left [[internal thoracic artery]] ([[Internal thoracic artery|LITA]]) (also referred to as the &#039;&#039;[[left internal mammary artery]]&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;[[LIMA]]&#039;&#039;) is grafted to the [[Left Anterior Descending]] [[artery]] and a combination of other [[artery|arteries]] and [[veins]] is used for other [[coronary arteries]]. &lt;br /&gt;
*The right [[internal thoracic artery]] ([[Internal thoracic artery|RITA]]), the [[great saphenous vein]] from the [[leg]] and the [[radial artery]] from the forearm are frequently used. &lt;br /&gt;
*The [[right gastroepiploic artery]] from the [[stomach]] is infrequently used given the difficult mobilization from the [[abdomen]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Saphenous vein==&lt;br /&gt;
===Saphenous vein anatomy===&lt;br /&gt;
*The [[great saphenous vein]] ([[GSV]]) is frequently used as a conduit for [[CABG]]. It originates from where the dorsal [[vein]] of the [[first digit]] (the large [[toe]]) merges with the [[dorsal venous arch of the foot]].&lt;br /&gt;
*After passing [[Anatomical terms of location|anterior]] to the [[medial malleolus]] (where it often can be visualized and [[Palpation|palpated]]), it runs up the [[medial]] side of the [[leg]]. At [[knee]], it runs over the [[Anatomical terms of location|posterior border]] of the [[medial epicondyle]] of the [[femur]] bone.&lt;br /&gt;
*The [[great saphenous vein]] then courses [[Anatomical terms of location|laterally]] to lie on the [[Anatomical terms of location|anterior surface]] of the [[thigh]] before entering an opening in the [[fascia lata]] called the [[saphenous opening]]. It joins with the [[femoral vein]] in the region of the [[femoral triangle]] at the saphenofemoral junction.&lt;br /&gt;
*The &#039;&#039;&#039;small [[saphenous vein]]&#039;&#039;&#039; (also &#039;&#039;&#039;lesser [[saphenous vein]]&#039;&#039;&#039;) originates where the [[Anatomical terms of location|dorsal]] [[vein]] from the [[fifth digit]] (smallest [[toe]]) merges with the [[dorsal [[venous]] arch of the [[foot]], which attaches to the [[great saphenous vein]]. It is considered a [[superficial vein]] and is [[subcutaneous]] (just under the [[skin]]). From its origin, it courses around the lateral aspect of the [[foot]] ([[Anatomical terms of location|inferior]] and [[Anatomical terms of location|posterior]] to the [[lateral malleolus]]) and runs along the [[Anatomical terms of location|posterior]] aspect of the [[leg]] (with the [[sural nerve]]), passes between the heads of the [[gastrocnemius muscle]], and drains into the [[popliteal vein]], approximately at or above the level of the [[knee]] [[joint]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
====Saphenous vein harvesting====&lt;br /&gt;
*The [[saphenous vein]] can be harvested by either direct visualization or via an [[endoscopy|endoscopic approach]]. [[Veins]] that are used either have their valves removed or are turned around so that the [[valves]] in them do not occlude [[blood flow]] in the [[graft]]. The technique of [[saphenous vein]] harvesting may influence later [[SVG]] patency. The process of harvesting the [[vein]] and [[pressure]] testing the [[vein]] for a leak may damage the [[endothelium]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Lawrie GM, Weilbacher DE, Henry PD.

**The [[right internal thoracic artery]] (RITA) is the best second conduit for the [[bypass]] and has better long-term outcomes than the [[radial artery]]. The use of the [[Internal thoracic artery|RITA]] results in the following in comparison with [[SVG]]:&lt;br /&gt;

*There have been good clinical results with the single left [[internal thoracic artery]] [[grafting]] compared with [[saphenous vein]] [[grafting]]. This prompted surgeons to use both ITAs.

*It&#039;s easy to harvest the [[radial artery]], but it has a higher risk for [[vasospasm]] and [[atherosclerosis]] than the [[right internal thoracic artery]] ([[RITA]]).

&lt;br /&gt;
==Conduit Nomenclature==&lt;br /&gt;
*The terms &#039;&#039;single bypass&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;double bypass&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;triple bypass&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;quadruple bypass&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;quintuple bypass&#039;&#039; refer to the number of [[coronary arteries]] [[Coronary artery bypass surgery|bypassed]] in the procedure. In other words, a double [[bypass]] means two [[coronary arteries]] are [[bypass|bypassed]] (such as [[left anterior descending|left anterior descending (LAD)]] [[coronary artery]] and [[right coronary artery|right coronary artery (RCA)]]); a triple [[bypass]] means three [[vessels]] are [[bypass|bypassed]] (such as [[LAD]], [[RCA]], and [[left circumflex artery|left circumflex artery (LCX)]]); a quadruple [[bypass]] means four vessels are bypassed (such as [[LAD]], [[RCA]], [[LCX]], first [[Left coronary artery|diagonal artery]] of the [[LAD]]). Less commonly more than four [[coronary arteries]] may be bypassed.&lt;br /&gt;
*A greater number of bypasses does not imply a [[patient]] is &amp;quot;sicker,&amp;quot; nor does a lesser number imply a [[patient]] is &amp;quot;healthier&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal |author=Ohki S, Kaneko T, Satoh Y, &#039;&#039;et al&#039;&#039; |title=[Coronary artery bypass grafting in octogenarian] |language=Japanese |journal=Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery |volume=55 |issue=10 |pages=829–33; discussion 833–6 |year=2002 |pmid=12233100 |doi=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
*A [[patient]] with a large amount of [[coronary artery disease|coronary artery disease]] ([[coronary artery disease|CAD]]) may receive fewer [[bypass]] [[grafts]] owing to the lack of suitable &amp;quot;target&amp;quot; [[vessels]].  &lt;br /&gt;
*A [[patient]] with a single [[stenosis]] of the [[Left coronary artery|left main]] [[coronary artery]] often requires only two [[bypasses]] (to the [[LAD]] and the [[LCX]]). However, depending upon the [[anatomy]], grafts may also need to be placed to a large [[diagonal artery]], or to additional large [[obtuse marginal]] branches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Assessment of Target Vessels for Bypass Grafting==&lt;br /&gt;
A [[coronary artery]] may be unsuitable for [[bypass]] [[grafting]] for the following reasons:&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Size:&#039;&#039;&#039; If the native target [[artery]] it is small (&amp;lt; 1 mm or &amp;lt; 1.5 mm depending on surgeon preference)&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Location:&#039;&#039;&#039; Some [[Anatomical terms of location|distal locations]] of the native target [[artery]] may not be accessible, or a conduit may not reach far down the native [[artery]].&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Native artery calcification:&#039;&#039;&#039; Heavily [[calcification|calcified]] native [[arteries]] are sometimes technically not amenable to [[anastomosis]] of a conduit.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;Diffuse disease:&#039;&#039;&#039; The native [[artery]] may not have a section of the [[vessel]] that has a minimal [[disease]] where a conduit can be [[grafting|grafted]] to.&lt;br /&gt;
*&#039;&#039;&#039;The native [[artery]] lies in the [[heart]] [[muscle]] or is intramyocardial:&#039;&#039;&#039; In this scenario, the native [[coronary artery]] is located within the [[heart]] [[muscle]] rather than on the surface of the [[heart]] and a [[graft]] cannot be attached to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the cardiothoracic surgeon reviews the [[coronary angiogram]] prior to [[surgery]] and identifies the [[lesions]] (or &amp;quot;blockages&amp;quot;) in the [[coronary arteries]] and will estimate the number of [[bypass]] [[grafts]] prior to [[surgery]], the final decision is made in the [[surgery|operating room]] based upon the direct examination of the [[heart]] and the suitability of the native target [[vessel]] for [[bypass|bypassing]].&lt;br /&gt;
