Abstract
In 1967, Dr. René Favaloro introduced the use of reversed greater saphenous vein graft for coronary artery bypass grafting, since then a lot of efforts were made to improve the venous graft patency rate. We introduce a novel double cobra head technique of distal coronary anastomosis for better distal runoff. We expect our technique will help in difficult situations such as limited conduit availability and target vessel with bifurcation lesions. Refining our surgical techniques is essential to keep ourselves well equipped to compete with the rapidly evolving stent culture. © Indian Association of Cardiovascular-Thoracic Surgeons 2021.Entities:
