Bi-directional single anastomotic technique for the proximal anastomosis of free grafts (the saphenous vein or radial artery) to the ascending aorta in coronary artery bypass grafting surgery

In an operation involving coronary bypass grafting, anastomoses to the ascending aorta with saphenous vein or radial artery grafts may increase the possibility of post-operative strokes by the dislodgement of embolic particles into the arterial vasculature. We report a bi-directional single anastomo...

Summary:In an operation involving coronary bypass grafting, anastomoses to the ascending aorta with saphenous vein or radial artery grafts may increase the possibility of post-operative strokes by the dislodgement of embolic particles into the arterial vasculature. We report a bi-directional single anastomotic technique to decrease the possibility of intra and postoperative strokes and to allow earlier cardiac perfusion by the graft anastomosed to the ascending aorta, in case of CABG with 2 free grafts from there.
