Revival of the side-to-side approach for distal coronary anastomosis

Abstract

Side-to-side anastomosis was employed by just ten proportional stitches while performing distal anastomosis during coronary artery surgery. This technique is simple and quick. Here this simple technique is described in detail and the postoperative status of grafted conduits is reported. © 2007 Song et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.
