Abstract
A 62-year-old man with left main coronary artery disease had coronary arter y bypass grafting. Angiography disclosed total occlusion of the left common iliac artery. The left internal thoracic artery and the left inferior epig astric artery were well developed as collateral pathways to the left extern al iliac artery. With concomitant femorofemoral crossover bypass, these two large arterial conduits were harvested and grafted to the coronary artery. (C) 1999 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
