Abstract

Gastric carcinoma was found incidentally while harvesting the gastroepiploic artery in 2 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Careful examination of the stomach before harvesting the gastroepiploic artery is mandated, and if any masses are detected, an alternative conduit should be used.
