Abstract
- Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was performed using saphenous vein grafts anastomosed in reversed Y-shaped in two patients because of the atherosclerotic ascending aorta. Postoperative course was uneventful, however, the common part of reversed Y-shaped grafts was occluded in both patients within two years after operations. The arms of reversed Y-shaped grafts were patent, and played a role of major collateral between LAD and RCA. They were treated successfully with reoperation in one patient and PTCA in another.
