In this video we present our technique of total arterial
myocardial revascularization using bilateral internal thoracic arteries and the
right gastroepiploic artery as in-situ grafts for three-vessel disease. The
left internal thoracic artery (LITA) is used as a sequential graft to the
diagonal branch (Diag) and the left anterior descending artery (LAD). The right
internal thoracic artery (RITA) is routed through the transvers sinus to
revascularize the obtuse marginal branch (OM). Finally, the right
gastroepiploic artery (GEA) is used for the posterior descending artery (PDA).
