This photograph shows a very interesting technique of coronary artery bypass graft surgery. It is called LIMA-RIMA "Y" graft technique.
In this technique, the unique features are -
1. It is done on beating heart (off-pump),
2. It uses only arteries as grafts and not veins (total arterial bypass grafts),
3. It uses only the two mammary arteries of the chest to construct a "Y" shaped graft and hence, no cuts are required to be made on the patient's legs or arms.
4. Being totally arterial graft, this technique gives the best long term results amongst all the techniques of coronary bypass surgery.
