Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In the situation where the saphenous veins were unavailable, cephalic vein was the second choice in the beginning of 1980s. The routine use of saphenous vein and recent enthusiasm for arterial surgical myocardial revascularization lead to less attention on this conduit. We reported a patient undergoing redo coronary bypass surgery after 18 years of having cephalic vein grafts.
