Right coronary bypass grafting with coronary-coronary venous bypass graft.
OBJECTIVE
The following report describes the experience of the Cardiovascular Surgery Team of the ABC Medical School with coronary-coronary bypass grafting.


METHODS
Four patients undergone off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, with coronary-coronary bypass of the right coronary artery, by using great saphenous vein graft.


RESULTS
The follow-up period was 3 to 5 years without any intra- or postoperative recurrence. One patient presented anginal symptoms four years after the surgery and underwent cinecoronariography that revealed patent anastomosis.


CONCLUSIONS
The coronary-coronary bypass is a good option for patients undergone coronary artery bypass grafting.
