Abstract
Unsuitability of the in-situ right gastroepiploic artery in coronary bypass grafting occurs. Sometimes free-grafting can be performed, although this should not be considered in patients with a diseased ascending aorta. We describe the successful use of the left gastric artery as an alternative in-situ arterial conduit in a patient with a severely atherosclerotic ascending aorta.
