[A case of coronary artery bypass for bilateral coronary ostial stenosis in aortitis syndrome with occlusion of bilateral subclavian arteries].
A 52-year-old female with bilateral coronary ostial stenosis in aortitis syndrome underwent CABG. Vein grafts were used instead of arterial grafts, because of the occlusion of bilateral subclavian arteries. Proximal anastomosis of the grafts was performed after oval stomas larger than usual were created on the aortic wall to prevent late graft occlusion due to intimal proliferation of the aorta. On postoperative CAG, all grafts to RCA, LAD and Cx were patent. The patient left the hospital 3 weeks after surgery. We believe that CABG is preferable to the transaortic endarterectomy in the surgical treatment for coronary ostial stenosis associated with aortitis syndrome, because of the prevalence of technical difficulty and postoperative morbidity in the latter.
