Abstract
Coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) represent the most common cardiac surgical procedure performed today, and advances in this field have greatly altered the management of a number of patients with coronary artery disease. Following much laboratory experience in the direct anastomosis of coronary arteries in experimental animals (Sabiston and Blalock 1958), the first saphenous vein bypass graft to a coronary artery was performed in 1962 (Sabiston). A severe stenosis of the left main coronary artery was successfully corrected by a CABG in 1964 (Garrett et al. 1973). Several years later the procedure became widely used when it was demonstrated that it could be performed with a very low operative mortality (Favaloro 1968; Johnson et al. 1969).
