[Simultaneous coronary artery bypass grafting and total arch graft replacement with dextrocardia and situs inversus].
The patient was a 79-year-old male who complained a sudden back pain. He had dextrocardia and situs inversus. An aortogram showed the dilatation of the ascending and aortic arch which reached 5.6 cm in diameter. A coronary angiogram also showed the 75 percent stenosis of segment 3 in the right coronary artery. Coronary artery bypass grafting to the right coronary artery was performed using a saphenous vein graft during cooling stage of the extracorporeal circulation. After that total arch replacement was carried out using a graft with four side branches with an aid of selective cerebral perfusion. He complicated with respiratory failure postoperatively and needed tracheostomy but recovered gradually. A postoperative computed tomogram showed good patency of three side grafts for cerebral perfusion and no abnormality of graft anastomosis.
