Double cobra head technique of distal coronary anastomosis

AbstractIn 1967, Dr. Ren é Favaloro introduced the use of reversed greater saphenous vein graft for coronary artery bypass grafting, since then a lot of efforts were made to improve the venous graft patency rate. We introduce a novel double cobra head technique of distal coronary anastomosis for better distal runoff. We ex pect our technique will help in difficult situations such as limited conduit availability and target vessel with bifurcation lesions. Refining our surgical techniques is essential to keep ourselves well equipped to compete with the rapidly evolving stent culture.
