Abstract
During coronary artery bypass surgery an intramyocardial or intracavitary left anterior descending coronary artery can be difficult to locate and pose problems of inadvertent entry into the right ventricle. We present a literature review of the management of this injury. We report an additional aid to prevent injury to the left anterior descending coronary artery during closure of the right ventriculotomy.
