Angiographic measurements were made of the diameter of the internal thoracic artery 1 cm proximal to the anastomosis (A), the diameter of the grafted coronary artery 1 cm distal to the anastomosis (B), the length of the anastomosis (C), the angle between the internal thoracic artery and the coronary artery grafted (D), the diameter of the grafted coronary artery 2 cm distal to the anastomosis (E), the diameter of the grafted coronary artery 4 cm distal to the anastomosis (F), and the diameter of the grafted coronary artery 6 cm distal to the anastomosis (G).
