Mammary-coronary anastomosis
technical aspects
Keywords:
myocardial vascularization, cardiac surgeryAbstract
The past and present of miocardial revascularization is considered with special reference to the use of the aortic-coronary bridge with the safena vein. Relative
and absolute Jimitations to the use of venous grafting are revised and the value of the mammary artery for grafting purposes discussed. The technical possibilities
of mammary-coronary anastomosis are tried in animals and on dead bodies, arriving at the conclusion that it is possible to perform it utilizing the anterior
descendent coronary and the proximal sectors of the right circumflex coronary. Optical magnification was not required for the operation. Special care should be taken in performing a neat suture.
