Because of excellent surgical results obtained with in situ internal mammary artery grafts, recent efforts have been made to extend the use of arterial conduits. In this study 2 cases of coronary revascularization using free internal mammary artery and gastroepiploic artery grafts as an internal mammary artery-Y complex are described. We believe that complete revascularization with only arterial condult can be achieved more widely by using this technique.
