INTRODUCTION
Coronary bypass grafting is well known surgical treatment method
allowing to restore the coronary blood flow. Inadequate
revascularization is the most important predictor factor for long-term
outcomes in coronary bypass surgery (1). The LAD revascularization is
the most important one in coronary vascularization. Coronary
endarterectomy was first described by Bailey et al. in 1950 (2).
Coronary endarterectomy was been performed on all presence of diffusely
diseased coronary arteries that are not suised for distal grafting (3).
Due to the deterioration of endothelial integrity after coronary
endarterectomy, thrombus may develop in the early period and therefore,
surgeons avoid endarterectomy. Acceptable clinical and angiographic
results have been published (4).
