چکیده
This communication describes a modi®ed aortic root replacement technique using a cryopreserved allograft consisting of the aortic conduit and its branch. This method was applied in a patient suffering from infective pseudoaneurysm which had developed after aortic root replacement using an arti®cial graft with a mechanical aortic valve. A piece of the innominate artery obtained from the aortic allograft was used for interposition between the fragile left coronary artery root and the main conduit of the allograft. q 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

The length of the in situ right internal mammary artery (RIMA) often restricts its use as a graft to distal marginal arteries. We describe herein a retrocaval supra-azygous extra-pleural passage of the RIMA that allows a significant gain in length. We report our experience in 30 patients with distal marginal lesions or with large hearts. q 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
