Abstract:
A technique is presented for intraoperative management of an axilloaxillary by-pass graft when performing a median sternotomy for myocardial revascularization. This method allows continual perfusion of both upper extremities during the operation thereby preventing the potential complications of upper extremity or cerebral ischemia.
