Abstract
Many alternative bypass conduits for coronary revascularization have been used since the introduction of the saphenous vein. The internal mammary artery has demonstrated superior long-term patency rates compared with vein grafts. Other arterial grafts previously investigated include the right gastroepiploic artery, inferior epigastric artery, radial artery, and splenic artery. This case reports bypass using a free splenic artery and a pedicled right gastroepiploic artery, each with successful postoperative patency.
