ABSTRACT
A 67-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a complaint of heart failure. He had a 12-year history of chronic renal failure and hemodialysis. Coronary angiography confirmed the presence of a saccular aneurysm originating from the calcificated left main trunk with coronary artery stenosis. The aneurysm was successfully treated by saphenous vein patch repair of the orifice and coronary revascularization of the left anterior descending and circumflex arteries. A histological examination of the aneurysm wall demonstrated coronary artery dissection. Postoperative coronary angiography 2 weeks after surgery revealed no evidence of residual aneurysm and showed patent bypass grafts.
