“…Six years ago, an on-pump complete coronary artery revascularization with a double internal thoracic artery in composite Y-graft was performed: left internal thoracic artery Once LITA flow seems appropriate, its supply as single inflow is supposed to fit, as well. Specifically, high patency rates of the anastomosis 3,4 and less tendency to competitive flow have been reported. 5 Total arterial revascularization through composite internal thoracic artery Y-graft has been using in our center for more than 20 years.…”

“…It should be noted that we've applied this method only for TECAB on the arrested heart. In case of a beating heart procedure, the endostabilizer has to be used cautiously on the right ventricular surface since there's a risk for accidental perforation [14,15].…”

“…Depending on the patient's anatomy, the RITA may even reach the distal RCA territory. As described in previous publications (27,28), in this configuration the free RITA is anastomosed to the posterior wall of the LITA using 8-0 polypropylene suture. To revascularize lesions in the OM or posterior lateral artery (PL), the RITA is anastomosed to the LITA at a 60-degree angle, known as a Y composite ( Figure 3A).…”
