Abstract
There is evidence that the use of Y-grafts attached to the left internal mammary artery may compromise the patency of the distal limb of the left internal mammary artery. We describe the split radial technique of constructing two aorto-coronary graft segments from a single radial artery that can be used to avoid the use of Y-grafts.
