[A case report of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and graft replacement of the ascending aorta for coronary artery disease associated with dissection of the ascending aorta].
A 64-year-old woman waiting for CABG for triple coronary artery disease admitted to our hospital due to chest oppression. One week after the admission, pericardiotomy was performed and blood in the pericardial effusion was found. Emergent chest CT scan revealed dissection of the ascending aorta (DeBakey II) with occluded false lumen. Because her condition was stable, concomitant operation of graft replacement of the ascending aorta and triple coronary artery bypass grafting were performed 3 months after the medical therapy. Her postoperative course was uneventful and the patient remains asymptomatic.
