Fig 1 Transit-time blood flows in different coronary bypass grafts (581 patients; 1,390 grafts) in a box plot diagram. All triple sequential saphenous vein grafts (SSVGs) were directed to the left coronary artery system. (LAD = left anterior descending artery; LIMA = left internal mammary artery; SVG = saphenous vein graft.)
