  • Title: ["Mammary loop" technique--new method of multiple coronary revascularization using internal mammary arteries].
    Author: Stoica L, Chocron S, Kaili D, Falcoz PE, Etievent JP.
    Journal: Rev Med Chir Soc Med Nat Iasi; 2004; 108(3):648-51. PubMed ID: 15832992.
    Abstract:
    The internal mammary arteries are "the gold standard" conduits for coronary by-pass because their' s patency is superior to the saphenous graft. There are some surgical techniques which allow to use the entire length of the mammary arteries: the Y graft, the T graft and the pi graft. We describe recently the "mammary loop" technique that allows to make a Y graft using only one internal mammary artery. This technique also simplifies the construction of a pi graft. In this article we present the variants of this technique and discuss the indications and our early experience results.
