Abstract
We report a patient with recurrent angina after gastroepiploic artery grafting to the right coronary artery because of a stenotic lesion of the gastroduodenal artery, which limited blood flow through the right gastroepiploic artery graft and caused myocardial ischemia. The patien t was successfully treated by saphenous vein grafting to the right cor onary artery without cardiopulmonary bypass. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
