AB  - A multitude of vascular conduits are available to the Cardiac Surgeon performing 
      Coronary Artery Bypass Graft operations. The Internal Mammary Artery, Radial 
      Artery (RA), and the Long Saphenous Vein (LSV) have proven to be excellent 
      conduits, especially in the current era of statin usage. However, previous 
      stripping or varicosities of the LSV and calcification of the RA, coupled with 
      the need for multiple vessel grafting, requires an alternative candidate. We 
      describe a novel harvesting technique for bilateral simultaneous Short Saphenous 
      Vein harvest and propose this, often forgotten vein, as a viable alternative 
      conduit.
