ABSTRACT:
A method of harvesting arterial conduits for coronary bypass grafting includes isolating the internal mammary artery and the superior and inferior epigastric arteries through a subcostal incision using a tapered tip balloon dissection cannula. A free end of the isolated artery may be anastomosed to the coronary artery, and a free graft harvested from the inferior epigastric artery may be anastomosed to the subclavian artery for an additional coronary bypass conduit.
