Fig 4 Arterial patch angioplasty of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) with the aortic transsection technique. (A) Transsection of the ascending aorta and incision into the left coronary ostium. (B) The incision is further extended through the roof of the LMCA, when necessary, all the way to the bifurcation. (C) A trimmed arterial patch consisting of a proximal segment of the right internal mammary artery is sutured onto the lateral portion of the incised LMCA. (D) The medial part of the incision in the LMCA is closed after retracting the proximal part of the aorta in a caudal direction.
