Abstract
The technique of the horseshoe graft, side-to-side saphenousvein- to-aorta anastomosis, using a long saphenous vein harvested from the leg is described in this communication. The lack of valves between the ankle and the knee and the high caliber natural Y distributions make this technique attractive. Constructing a double set of vein grafts provides, in particular, unlimited possibilities for the construction of six to eight grafts if this appears anatomically feasible.Keywords
