title: [Coronary artery bypass graftingin a patient with aortitis syndrome; report of a case].
abstract: We present a case of surgical treatment for a coronary lesion due to aortitis syndrome. A 41-year-old woman, suffering from aortitis syndrome and under prednisolone (PSL) therapy, underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Surgical treatment was performed according to the aortic no-touch technique, but the patient showed a poor cardiac performance 5 days after the operation. This accident was resolved by increasing the PSL dose. Aortitis syndrome treated with PSL needs careful perioperative management besides an operative procedure.
