Abstract

The tangential K graft is a comfortable surgical technique aiming to increase cardiac surgeons' versatility in performing multiple arterial grafting using only two arterial conduits. One end of the free graft - either the right internal thoracic artery (RITA) or the radial artery (RA) - is attached to a marginal circumflex branch. Its other end is anastomosed end to side to a diagonal branch. After the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) is attached to the left anterior descending coronary artery, a wide-open side-to-side LITA to free RITA or RA anastomosis - resembling the letter K - is constructed.
