Abstract:
A new technique for the proximal anastomoses of saphenous vein grafts in coronary artery bypass operations is described. This technique has several advantages over existing methods and has been shown to be safe and satisfactory in 389 consecutive patients operated on between May, 1978, and May, 1981.
