title: Angina pectoris in a case of Takayasu's disease: revascularization by coronary ostioplasty and bypass grafting.
abstract: A young man with Takayasu's disease had severe right and left coronary ostial stenoses. Severe angina was relieved by operation at which the right coronary ostium was enlarged by a pericardial patch extending across the stenosis from aorta to coronary artery; the aortic end of a vein graft to the left coronary artery was attached to this patch. This technique may reduce the risk of recurrence of ostial stenosis or of stenosis at graft origins.
