Radial Artery From Left Subclavian Artery in Redo Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Antonio M. Calafiore, MD, Hisayoshi Suma, MD

Department of Cardiac Surgery, University "G. D'Annunzio," Chieti, Italy

In redo coronary artery bypass grafting a left anterior thoracotomy can be used, if necessary, to avoid a dangerous repeat median sternotomy. In 2 patients with a well-functioning left internal mammary artery graft to a left anterior descending artery attached to the sternum, a radial artery was used with the left subclavian artery as the blood source. This technique can be used successfully in selected cases when a left thoracotomy is advisable and an arterial graft is preferred to a saphenous vein.
