Abstract

Composite grafting is a useful technique that avoids the need for aortic manipulation and enables a wide range of target vessels to be revascularized, effectively using the limited arterial grafts available. However, it has not been clarified whether composite grafting can achieve angiographic outcomes equivalent to those obtained with individual grafting for specific target vessels.
