Revascularization of the septal artery

WS Stoney, RP Vernon, WC Alford Jr, GR Burrus and CS Thomas Jr

The septal artery has been infrequently considered for bypass grafting due to its apparent inaccessibility. Twelve patients have recently been found to have a large single obstructed septal artery that supplied an area of left ventricle great enough to justify revascularization. A review of 100 normal arteriograms showed that 30% (30/100) of the patients had a septal artery of sufficient size to sustain a graft. Early restudy of 8 of the 12 patients who received septal bypasses showed all grafts to be patent and functioning well.
