ABSTRACT
Complete revascularization of the coronary artery was performed in a 73-year-old man who had severe stenosis of the bilateral subclavian and left vertebral arteries and severe calcification of the ascending aorta. At first, we performed CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting) on the LAD (left anterior descending artery) and the RCA (right coronary artery) without cardiopulmonary bypass. <i>In-situ</i> GEA (gastroepiploic artery) was anastomosed to the LAD and SVG (saphenous vein graft) was anastomosed to 4 PD (4 posterior descending artery) of the RCA. The right brachiocephalic artery was selected as the site of the proximal anastomosis of the SVG. A Palmaz-Schatz stent was then held in place in the LCX (left circumflex artery) postoperatively. The combination of CABG without cardiopulmonary bypass and PTCA was a safe method for preventing cerebrovascular complications in a patient with a severely calcified artery.
