title: Angioplasty/bypass combination therapy in an 89-year-old man with left main trunk disease.
abstract: We report a case of an 89-year-old man presenting with unstable angina and left main trunk disease. Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting supplemented by catheter intervention was successfully performed. In view of the increasing elderly population, angioplasty/bypass combination therapy may be an important alternative for elderly coronary artery disease patients.
