Summary
This case study demonstrates a novel surgical technique for coronary artery bypass grafting in the circumflex territory. Using the right internal thoracic artery for direct circumflex trunk grafting offers a feasible alternative to complex distal procedures.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Thoracic Surgery
- Vascular Surgery
Background:
- Revascularization of the circumflex artery is challenging due to its anatomical location.
- Often requires complex distal bypass grafting.
- This limits treatment options for some patients.
