| pubmed-article:11515925 | pubmed:abstractText | One of the biggest problems encountered during complete arterial revascularization is difficulty obtaining sufficient graft length to perform multiple distal anastomoses. We describe a technique of dividing the radial artery during harvest and forming one or more composite Y-grafts to allow end-to-side rather than sequential anastomoses without substantially decreasing usable conduit length. This approach has merit and may be helpful in some patients who require complex arterial grafting. | lld:pubmed |
