A novel technique for anastomosis of the proximal (aortic) end of the saphenous vein conduit to the right coronary territory is described. This has proved to be an excellent technique that can be performed expeditiously with minimal assistance. It is easily reproducible with consistent results, even for surgeons in the initial stages of their learning curves.
