B, Before (arrow, left panel) and after (right panel) stenting of the distal SVG to the RCA. C, Before (arrows, left panel) and after (right panel) stenting of diffuse proximal disease in the SVG to the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). D, Before (arrows, left panel) and after (right panel) stenting of distal disease in the SVG to the LAD, with excellent angiographic results at both treatment sites.
