ABSTRACT

Atherosclerosis has become a public health problem in the emergency word and it is the source of 20% of mortality in the US due to cardiovascular diseases. Vineberg and Miller originated surgery for coronary heart disease with direct implantation of the internal thoracic artery in the myocardial wall in 1951. Kolesov carried ont the first implantation end-side to the coronary artery in 1964. Patient survival and quality of life were increased with these procedures. Arterial grafts have the best outcomes in coronary bypass. Internal thoracic artery (ITA) is the best choice; however, it is necesary to find other grafts for myocardial revascularization. The right gastro-epiploic artery (RGEA) is a promissory alternative graft for its physiologic and morphologic features. There is no information concerning RGEA in mexican individuals. This approach was directed to afford information concerning right gastro-epiploic artery disease (RGEA) in mexican population. Arteries were obtained from 22 patients whose deaths were due to non-cardiovascular diseases. The luminal average diameter was 1.4 mm; only 4% of cases had atherosclerosis (20%), one significant (4%). This artery is considered as a good alternative graft for myocardial revascularization.
