Fig 2 (A) Diagram of the operative method and (B) angiography by injection of contrast into the free right internal thoracic artery, in the right anterior oblique view. The radial artery (RA) was sequentially grafted to the diagonal branch (Dx), obtuse marginal branch (OM), and right posterior lateral branch (RPL). The free right internal thoracic artery (RITA) was anastomosed to RA to join the RA to the ascending aorta. The left internal thoracic artery (LITA) was anastomosed to the left anterior descending artery (LAD). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1999 67, 629-631DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(98)01240-5)
