The right gastroepiploic artery is gaining popularity as an in situ arterial graft for coronary artery bypass surgery. Unlike the internal thoracic artery, the right gastroepiploic artery is a visceral artery and has a vasoconstrictive tendency in response to sympathetic stimulation. We hypothesized that blood flow through the in situ right gastroepiploic arterial graft might be compromised after sympathetic stimulation.
