Abstract

A 73-year-old man was admitted with unstable angina, having severe coronary artery disease involving 3 vessels. He had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting to the left anterior descending artery and the obtuse marginal branch using saphenous vein grafts in 1979. Computed tomography showed severe calcium deposition and atherosclerosis in the ascending and descending aorta. We conducted axillocoronary artery bypass to the obtuse marginal branch and left internal thoracic artery as an in situ graft to the left anterior descending artery without cardiopulmonary bypass. Grafts were satisfactory and clinical results good.
