title: [Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting for unstable angina pectoris combined with hypothyroidism and chronic renal failure; report of a case].
abstract: Coronary artery bypass grafting for patients with ischemic heart disease and hypothyroidism contains many controversies, and chronic renal failure causes perioperative water-electrolyte balance disorders. We experienced a case of unstable angina pectoris combined with hypothyroidism and chronic renal failure successfully treated by off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). A 68-year-old man with a history of hypothyroidism and chronic renal failure was hospitalized with chest pain. Cardiac catheterisation revealed a 90% stenosis of segment 3, 11 and right ventricular (RV) branch, 75% stenosis of segment 6 and 50% stenosis of segment 5. His thyroid function was normal with orally administered levothyroxine. OPCAB was performed safely with hemodialysis until a day before operation and hemofiltration from a day after operation, and postoperative course was uneventful.
