<Li> The first coronary artery bypass surgery was performed in the United States on May 2 , 1960 , at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine - Bronx Municipal Hospital Center by a team led by Robert H. Goetz and the thoracic surgeon , Michael Rohman with the assistance of Jordan Haller and Ronald Dee . In this technique the vessels are held together with circumferential ligatures over an inserted metal ring . The internal mammary artery was used as the donor vessel and was anastomosed to the right coronary artery . The actual anastomosis with the Rosenbach ring took fifteen seconds and did not require cardiopulmonary bypass . The disadvantage of using the internal mammary artery was that , at autopsy nine months later , the anastomosis was open , but an atheromatous plaque had occluded the origin of the internal mammary that was used for the bypass . </Li>
