摘要
In recent years the right gastroepiploic artery (GEA) has been used as an in situ graft in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The specific anatomical course of the GEA graft enables the use of color Doppler imaging technique to evaluate its patency. The results in 21 patients demonstrate the efficiency of this technique; postoperative angiography to establish patency can therefore be avoided.
