Abstract
The right gastroepiploic artery has been definitively recognized as a reliable conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting with excellent clinical results and midterm patency. Our experience with internal thoracic artery skeletonization and the similarities between the gastroepiploic and internal thoracic arteries prompted us to modify the gastroepiploic artery harvesting technique. The purpose of this report is to present the advantages of the skeletonized gastroepiploic artery graft.
