[Direct myocardial revascularization from an upper median laparotomy in a reoperation]

Case-history of a patient with IHD, six months after the first revascularization operation, performed on account of occluded venous grafts and relapse of anginous complaints, successfully reoperated from upper median laparotomy. From this surgical approach an anastomosis of the right gastroepiploic artery on the ramus interventricularis posterior (RIVP) of the right coronary artery was made. Six months after operation the patient is free from angionous complaints and lives a full life. Control coronarograpy indicates patency of the graft.
