A new method of myocardial revascularization with the radial artery

We present a new method of myocardial revascularization. The radial artery is used in combination with the left internal mammary artery, thereby providing three distal end-to-side anastomoses to the left anterior descending coronary artery and other sites as determined by the coronary artery lesions...

Summary:We present a new method of myocardial revascularization. The radial artery is used in combination with the left internal mammary artery, thereby providing three distal end-to-side anastomoses to the left anterior descending coronary artery and other sites as determined by the coronary artery lesions. Arterial conduits form an anastomotic network between the left internal mammary artery and the radial artery in a horseshoe pattern. Three coronary arteries are revascularized by two arterial conduits in the left coronary system.
