“…They mentioned hat full cardiopulmonary bypass was required for revascularization of left coronary artery but in most a bypass of the right coronary artery could be performed without cardiopulmonary bypass. The use of autologous reversed saphenous vein graft gained wide acceptance with various authors reporting their techniques and results 86,[93][94][95][96][97][98] . In 1977, Lawrie and colleagues 99 published the first long term follow up series of patients having undergone saphenous vain-coronary artery anastomosis.…”

“…According to Urschel et al (75, 76), the bypass operation is indicated when there are isolated or multiple segmental obstructions (greater than 90 per cent) of a proximal coronary artery. There must be a patent segment of the vessel distal to the lesion to provide an adequate run‐off tract.…”

This study involved 6 dogs in which collagen tubes had been implanted in the left ventricle, while the right ventricle was left as a control. The dogs had led a normal life for twelve months after operation. Studies of myocardial metabolism, initiated a year after collagen‐tube revascularization, were performed as follows: Under anesthesia, samples of myocardium were taken from the left ventricle in which the left anterior descending coronary and circumflex coronary arteries had been ligated, and also from the right untreated ventricle. Oxygen uptake studies demonstrated that the myocardium of the treated ventricle respired at the same rate as that of the control ventricle, indicating that the revascularized tissue was efficiently perfused with blood and oxygen, that the cells of the revascularized myocardium were viable, and that the revascularization method would probably be adequate to maintain homeostasis in an ischemic heart. A review of the literature shows that previous methods of treatment leave much to be desired. This method is offered as another means of treating the ischemic heart early in the patient's history of complaints. The procedure is simple, does not require a pump oxygenator, and is not time‐consuming. However, it does require a second operation to remove the polyethylene tube.

“…The "horseshoe" graft as originally described by Urschel (5) and Groves (2) was fashioned from saphenous vein taken from the thigh and anastomosed in its mid portion side-to-side to the aorta. This arrangement provided two exits arising from one aortic port.…”

“…The advantages of such an arrangement are apparent. However, the procedure was abandoned because of a high occlusion rate (25%) in the reversed flow segment (5,2) as observed by the above-mentioned authors. This was attributed to the surgical manipulation necessary to remove the valves.…”

The technique of the horseshoe graft, side-to-side saphenous-vein-to-aorta anastomosis, using a long saphenous vein harvested from the leg is described in this communication. The lack of valves between the ankle and the knee and the high caliber natural Y distributions make this technique attractive. Constructing a double set of vein graft provides, in particular, unlimited possibilities for the construction of six to eight grafts if this appears anatomically feasible.
