Abstract

When complete revascularization cannot be obtained with the internal mammary artery and greater and lesser saphenous veins, the inferior epigastric artery may be an excellent alternative conduit. We describe our experience with this conduit, review the anatomy of this artery, and present our harvesting technique.
