  • Title: Coronary reoperation via small laparotomy using right gastroepiploic artery without CPB.
    Author: Grandjean JG, Mariani MA, Ebels T.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1996 Jun; 61(6):1853-5. PubMed ID: 8651810.
    Abstract:
    The elective use of the right gastroepiploic artery as an in situ graft has been well established in coronary surgery. We propose a surgical technique for patients undergoing coronary reoperations with a patent mammary graft to the left anterior descending artery. The gastroepiploic artery is used through a small laparotomy when only the right coronary artery or the posterior descending artery needs revascularization. The described technique allows avoidance of both resternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass.
