Abstract

We performed coronary artery bypass grafting with the left internal mammary artery, right gastroepiploic artery, and inferior epigastric artery on a 60-year-old male. The inferior epigastric artery used as a free graft was placed between the in situ left internal mammary graft proximally and the obtuse marginal branch distally. Both the left internal mammary graft to the left anterior descending artery and the right gastroepiploic artery to the right coronary artery were used as an in situ graft. All grafts were patent two weeks after the operation and the patient was free from angina at three months follow-up period.
