[A case report of coronary artery bypass grafting in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis].
We reported a case of ankylosing spondylitis who successfully underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for unstable angina pectoris. A 67-year-old man was admitted with symptom of anginal pain. Selective coronary angiography revealed coronary artery stenoses; 90% in seg 6, 90% in seg 11, proximal 75%, distal 90% in seg 3, 99% in 4 PD and 99% with delay in 4 AV. The left internal thoracic artery was anastomosed to seg 7 and saphenous vein (SVG) to PL-2, PL-1 sequentially, and another SVG to 4 PD. His postoperative course was uneventful. Cardiac lesions accompanied by ankylosing spondylitis are rare in Japan. Perioperative problems of these lesions therefore, are discussed.
