  • Title: Descending branch of lateral femoral circumflex artery as a new alternative free graft in re-do CABG.
    Author: Tsuchida T, Tatsumi T, Kondoh K, Sawada Y, Sasaki S.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1999 Apr; 5(2):130-2. PubMed ID: 10332120.
    Abstract:
    To re-do coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), we employed the descending branch of the lateral femoral circumflex artery (LFCA) as a free arterial graft. Early postoperative angiography demonstrated that the graft was patent with a sufficient flow. The descending branch of the LFCA can be recommended as a possible arterial graft for re-do CABG.
