In all patients venous grafts were occluded. there was a different approach used in every patient: small left or right anterior thoracotomy through IV or V intercostal space, laparotomy with partial low sternotomy or simultaneous combined approach through thoracotomy and sternotomy/laparotomy. The following arteries were grafted: left anterior descending, right posterior descending, LAD with right coronary artery and LAD with marginal branch. All patients were extubated in the operating room. There were no serious perioperative complications observed. Patients were transferred to cardiology department on the 5th-7th postoperative day.
