Abstract:
Although performing total arterial coronary artery bypass revascularisation, using internal thoracic arteries as in situ grafts is not always feasible. The implantation of an internal thoracic artery on the aorta could be necessary, in a situation rarely planned preoperatively. Herein, we describe a simple and original way to perform this anastomosis. A 2-cm length of extra radial artery graft ended by a clip is anastomosed to the aorta in a standard fashion. The internal thoracic artery is then sown on the radial dome. We obtain a wide arterial anastomotic chamber using a standard technique, safe and easily reproducible.
