Key result
Coronary artery bypass grafting using the right gastro-epiploic artery resulted in 25 patients being symptom-free at follow-up, with 7 of 9 re-angiogrammed grafts judged to be patent.

Does coronary artery bypass grafting using the right gastro-epiploic artery improve symptoms and maintain graft patency in patients with angina pectoris?
The right gastro-epiploic artery serves as a viable alternative conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting, yielding satisfactory symptom relief and graft patency.
M. J. Carter (1987) conducted an observational in Angina pectoris (n=30). Right gastro-epiploic artery graft was evaluated. Coronary artery bypass grafting using the right gastro-epiploic artery resulted in 25 patients being symptom-free at follow-up, with 7 of 9 re-angiogrammed grafts judged to be patent.
