Re: FR > EN pontage MIG-IVA en Y sur la MIG

[Guest guest]

Great link Sue, thank you very much! In this specific case, do you

think the Y is just formed by the free end of an in situ LIMA going

into the side of the LAD or do you think it is a composite graft like

in your article? If the former I would have thought they'd say " sur

la IVA " rather than sur la MIG, if the latter I would have expected

them to state which other vessel they had used in the composite.

Helen,

I'm no specialist in CABG surgery, but from what I've read

about " pontage en Y " and " Y-grafting " , it seems to my that it is by

definition a composite graft.

I agree the wording here " pontage MIG-IVA en Y sur la MIG " is

confusing. Perhaps it means that the LIMA is in situ and the RIMA is

the free graft?

I'm sure there are some more knowledgeable colleagues out there

somewhere :-)

@Marilyn -thanks :-))
