Abstract
We experimented with vein grafting surgery on Götingen minipigs. Using the internal jugular vein for the tissue graft, we performed side-to-side anastomosis to the carotid artery, to which it runs parallel. One key point in this surgery was to prevent vasospasm of the carotid artery so as to keep the lumen sufficiently patent during anastomosis. The histopathological findings in the grafts which remained patent resembled those of vein grafts in humans. We therefore considered that this technique in minipigs can be applied for the study of coronary artery bypass surgery in humans.
