[Coronary arterial bypass grafting for angina pectoris suspected with aortitis syndrome: a case report].
We report herein the case of a 56-year-old man with angina pectoris suspected to be accompanied with aortitis syndrome who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). His cerebral blood flow consisted of only that of the right vertebralartery, and the marked collaterals of the bronchial artery anastomosing to the coronary artery. CABG was performed under combined with electrical fibrillation and systemic deep hypothermia, for fear of a bad influence on the cerebral tissue by the influx of high potassium cardioplegic solution. The postoperative course was uneventful and the coronary angiography revealed that the all graft were patent.
