Abstract: | A technique is described for using the internal mammary artery to bypass the left anterior descending coronary artery and another adjacent coronary artery even when the alignment of the two vessels is not favorable for a conventional sequential graft. The distal end of the mammary artery is amputated and used to construct a Y graft to the anterior descending artery and to the secondary target vessel. |
