Objective  To summarize the treatment outcomes of antegrade sequential anastomosis of great saphenous veins in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting for coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Methods  A total of 116 patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart diseases underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting from January 2013 to June 2015 in our hospital. There were 63 males and 53 females with a mean age of 42–80 (64.26±9.67) years. Left internal mammary artery was anastomosed to left anterior descending artery. The rest of the target vessels received antegrade sequential anastomosis of great saphenous veins with the order of proximal ascending aorta, diagonal branch, circumflex branch, obtuse marginal branch, left ventricular branch and posterior descending artery. Results  All patients were performed off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting successfully without death or perioperative myocardial infarction. A total of 436 grafts were adopted with 3.75±0.53 in each patient. Three patients suffered low cardiac output syndrome, and were cured after administration of vasoactive drugs combined with the intra-aortic balloon pump. One patient suffered tardive pericardial tamponade and one acute renal failure, who were cured with disappearance of angina symptoms and increase of activities without discomfort. Conclusion  Antegrade sequential anastomosis, as a safe and effective method, can reduce aortic stoma, save the length of grafts, shorten operative time and quickly restorate blood supply of myocardium in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.
