Abstract |
Occasionally patients with multi-vessel disease present with coronary stenoses and subclavian steal syndrome. A novel surgical approach for the treatment of these vascular problems is described. The in situ left internal mammary artery was used to create an aortosubclavian shunt, thus restoring antegrade vertebral flow and vein grafts were used for coronary revascularization.
