title: [The topographic-anatomical rationale for using the right gastro-epiploic artery for direct revascularization of the myocardium].
abstract: The topographic anatomy of the right gastroepiploic artery was studied on anatomical material and a model of an operation was elaborated for direct revascularization of the myocardium with the use of the right gastroepiploic artery as a pedicled shunt. The study showed that the anatomical characteristics of the artery (length, diameter) allow it to be used as an autoarterial shunt to the coronary arteries. The authors discuss two methods for installing the vascular graft by means of which shunting of the coronary arteries of both the anterior and the posterior myocardial wall can be accomplished with a graft of the right gastroepiploic artery.
