[A case of coronary artery bypass utilizing natural bifurcation of the right internal mammary artery].
A Forty five year old male with unstable angina due to multiple coronary artery stenosis underwent successful complete coronary revascularization utilizing the natural bifurcation of the right internal mammary artery. As this procedure has not been reported in detail previously in the literature and since the use of the natural bifurcation of the internal mammary artery was considered to be useful for the treatment of multiple coronary stenosis, this case was presented. Pre and post operative angiography is included.
