Centre Cardio-Thoracique de Monaco, Monaco.

The right gastroepiploic artery has been definitively recognized as a reliable conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting with excellent clinical results and midterm patency. Our experience with internal thoracic artery skeletonization and the similarities between the gastroepiploic and internal thoracic arteries prompted us to modify the gastroepiploic artery harvesting technique. The purpose of this report is to present the advantages of the skeletonized gastroepiploic artery graft.

D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D009852	Omentum	A double-layered fold of peritoneum that attaches the STOMACH to other organs in the ABDOMINAL CAVITY.	Omentums
D010208	Papaverine	An alkaloid found in opium but not closely related to the other opium alkaloids in its structure or pharmacological actions. It is a direct-acting smooth muscle relaxant used in the treatment of impotence and as a vasodilator, especially for cerebral vasodilation. The mechanism of its pharmacological actions is not clear, but it apparently can inhibit phosphodiesterases and it may have direct actions on calcium channels.
