Indications for Distal Coronary Artery Endarterectomy and Proximal Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts

  • Conference paper
Coronary Heart Surgery

Abstract

For patients with coronary artery insufficiency and myocardial isch­emia, coronary artery bypass grafts using saphenous vein or internal mammary artery have been successful in managing short, localized, or proximal obstructions in the coronary artery with patent distal ves­sels [26-27]. For patients with diffuse or long obstructions without adequate distal vessels, endarterectomy either with carbon dioxide or mechanical techniques combined with proximal saphenous vein bypass graft has been an adjunctive substitute procedure where simple bypass alone could not be performed [1–27].
