Abstract

Strategic planning is integral to any operation but complexity varies immensely and therefore the effort necessary to create the optimal plan. The previous three reports have discussed individual conduits and herein is an attempt to present approaches to common situations which the author favors. Although much has been learned over 45 years about use and subsequent behavior of venous and arterial grafts we continue to learn and, as a result, evolve new strategies or modify those now popular. Thus the reader must recognize that in spite of trying to be balanced and inclusive all surgeons have personal opinions and also prejudices which influence the approach taken and which may not be the optimal one for others or for the patient.
