Abstract
A patient having undergone triple coronary artery bypass grafting with the left internal mammary artery and both shorter saphenous veins was reoperated on because of occlusion of the venous grafts. As there was no other vascular substitute available, the right internal mammary artery and both inferior epigastric arteries were used to achieve myocardial revascularization. This case demonstrates that bilateral internal mammary arteries and inferior epigastric arteries can be used safely.
