pubmed:abstractText	The aim of this review is to present the configurations and classifications of composite arterial grafts in coronary bypass surgery. Articles were collected by tracking references cited in the literature with regard to the configurations of composite arterial grafts in coronary bypass surgery. Figures of the configurations were drawn in accordance to the schematic drawings, angiograms, photographs, table contents or written captions of the literature. According to their structural nature, composite arterial grafts can be classified as: (i) alphabetical (Y, T, I, U, K, X and H) and (ii) complex grafts (TY, loop, pi and sling grafts). According to the conduits that form the composite graft, they can be classified as: (i) definite (all standard alphabetical grafts, classic pi and sling grafts); (ii) varying [internal mammary artery (IMA) loop, modified pi graft]; and (iii) indefinite conduit graft (TY graft). According to their application in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), they can be divided into complete arterial revascularization for: (i) triple vessel disease (T, Y, K, X, TY, pi and sling grafts); (ii) two vessel disease (U, right Y, and two-thirds right IMA T grafts); and (iii) single vessel disease, mainly the left anterior descending artery with or without the diagonal branch (H, I, IMA loop and left IMA T grafts). According to the CABG method, they can be classified as: (i) for conventional CABG (sling graft); (ii) for minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (H graft); and (iii) for both conventional CABG and off-pump coronary artery bypass (T, Y, U, K, I, TY, IMA loop, and pi grafts). Standard Y and T grafts have been accepted as the common figurations of composite arterial grafts to maximum graft length for the bypass of triple vessel disease. Composite arterial grafts overcome the limited availability of arterial conduits for performing total arterial myocardial revascularization, allow a gain in conduit length, and minimize the ascending aorta manipulation.
