The results of morphological and morphometrical investigation of the biopsy and autopsy material from 35 right gastroepiploic arteries were analyzed. Histological and histochemical methods were used. The anatomo-topographic and morphometrical characteristics of the right gastroepiploic artery allow it to be used for gastro-coronary shunting. It makes the possibilities of the aorto-arterial revascularization of the myocardium substantially wider.
