The Right Gastroepiploic Artery Graft for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A 30-Year Experience
Throughout its 30-year history, the right gastroepiploic artery (GEA) has been useful for in situ grafts in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The early graft patency rate is high, and the late patency rate has improved by using the skeletonized GEA graft and proper target selection, which in...

| description | Throughout its 30-year history, the right gastroepiploic artery (GEA) has been useful for in situ grafts in coronary
artery bypass grafting (CABG). The early graft patency rate is high, and the late patency rate has improved
by using the skeletonized GEA graft and proper target selection, which involves having a target coronary
artery with a tight >90% stenosis. Total arterial revascularization with the internal thoracic artery and
GEA grafts is an option for achieving better outcomes from CABG procedures. |
