The right in situ internal mammary artery extended end to end with a free inferior epigastric artery was used through the transverse sinus for sequential grafting to one marginal branch of the circumflex artery and one or both distal branches of the right coronary artery. This procedure was applied in 5 patients with three-vessel disease who received in addition a left in situ internal mammary artery as a sequential graft to the left anterior descending coronary artery and one of its diagonal branches. The postoperative course was uneventful in all cases. A postoperative coronary angiogram obtained on day 10 in 4 patients showed all the grafts and anastomoses patent.
