The main strategy of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is based on grafting the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) to left anterior descending artery (LAD) and using the saphenous vein graft (SVG) for the remaining affected vessels and anastomosing the grafts proximally to the ascending aorta.
The RA is usually harvested from the nondominant upper limb, although it is convenient to harvest the left internal thoracic artery and left radial artery at the same time.
