title: [Long-term follow-up after direct intramyocardial implantation of an internal thoracic artery pedicle (Vineberg operation)].
abstract: We report on a patient with coronary artery 3-vessel disease who presented 30 years after a unilateral Vineberg operation with a patent graft. The patient successfully underwent coronary artery bypass grafting. The theoretical basis, operative variations and the results of this historical indirect revascularization procedure are briefly discussed.
