The importance of removing the epicardium for myocardial revascularization was recognized by Beck in 1935. Beek and Tichy (1935) recommended removal of the epicardium irrespective of the graft or material used, be it talc powder, pericardium, pericardial fat, mediastinal tissue, pleura, etc. Beck believed that the epicardium was a barrier to the development of extra-coronary vessels. Further, he stated that a pressure differential was necessary to promote anastomoses between the cardiac and extra-cardiac vascular beds.
