The patency and graft flow of sequential (seq. SVBG) and single saphenous vein bypass grafts (single SVBG) in coronary bypass surgery were compared angiographically (mean follow-up 26 months) in 76 patients with 36 seq. SVBG (75 distal anastomoses) and 85 single SVBGs. The late patency of all seq. SVBGs anastomoses (94.7%) was higher than that of single SVBGs (80.0%). No early or late graft occlusions were seen in the side-to-side (SSA) anastomoses of the seq. SVBGs. The cine-angiographically determined mean volume flow in the proximal segments of the seq. SVBGs was significantly higher (p less than 0.001) than that in the distal segments of the seq. SVBGs or in the single SVBGs at both early and late follow-up. Despite the higher late patency rate (88.9% vs 80.0%) in the end-to-side anastomoses (ESA) of the seq SVBGs, the mean graft flow was significantly lower in the distal segments of seq SVBGs than in the single SVBGs (71 ml/min vs. 109 ml/min, p less than 0.05).
