Closure of pericardium after a traditional midline incision may lead to graft distortion. In this report, we will describe a technique of pericardial closure and thymus coverage to protect bilateral internal mammary artery grafts from damage.Coronary artery bypass; Internal mammary artery; Pericardial closure[SDGs]SDG3article; coronary artery bypass graft; coronary artery disease; heart muscle revascularization; human; internal mammary artery; pericardium; priority journal; surgical technique; Coronary Artery Bypass; Humans; Internal Mammary-Coronary Artery Anastomosis; Pericardium; Reoperation; SternumModified pericardial closure to protect internal mammary artery grafts in coronary artery bypassjournal article10.1055/s-2002-32413120776952-s2.0-0036317441
