[Combined operations of coronary artery bypass grafting using the right gastro-epiploic artery and other abdominal operation].
We carried out combined operation of coronary artery bypass grafting using the right gastro-epiploic artery (GEA) and other abdominal operation in four patients. The abdominal operation were one total gastrectomy for double early gastric cancer, one bypass with Y-shaped graft for arteriosclerosis obliterans in iliac region and two peritoneal dialysis for chronic renal failure. There were no early death. The postoperative course was uneventful without any mediastinitis or other infectious events. Doing careful maneuver, we can use the GEA for grafts in such cases.
