Abstract
We describe a patient with severely diseased ascending aorta and small internal mammary arteries, who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass to the left anterior descending coronary artery and right coronary artery using composite arterial grafts consisting of the pedicled proximal internal mammary artery and interposed radial artery graft. The interposed radial artery graft provides advantages, such as making coronary anastomosis on the beating heart easier and to increasing the flow potentiality of the internal mammary artery.
