title: Saphenous bicephalic aortocoronary graft in the treatment of right coronary bifurcation stenosis.
abstract: We describe a surgical maneuver suitable for stenosis of the bifurcation of the right coronary artery. The distal end of a saphenous vein graft is prepared to obtain a two-headed shape. The anastomosis achieves enlargement of the bifurcation, providing complete distal revascularization.
