Abstract
A large number of coronary artery bypass grafts are performed in Thailand. Some patients develop restenosed coronary arteries or stenosed graft conduits. Great saphenous veins, internal thoracic arteries, radial arteries, and right gastroepiploic arteries are used for redo coronary artery bypass grafting. But even with many conduits to choose from, sometimes graft conduits are not available. We report a case of redo coronary artery bypass grafting where the posterior tibial artery was harvested for the graft conduit. Clinical outcome and angiographic results are reported at 1 year postoperation.
