ASCENDING AORTIC ANEURYSM RESECTION EIGHT MONTHS AFTER TRIPLE CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS: CASE REPORT.
This report involves the surgical treatment of a patient who underwent saphenous vein triple coronary artery bypass and subsequently developed an ascending aortic aneurysm and aortic insufficiency. Although the implantation of vascular structures into synthetic grafts is commonplace, this case is unique in that it involves the successful implantation of an aortic island containing the origin of the coronary arteries.
