title: [Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting and left ventricular aneurysm resection--a case report].
abstract: We present the case of a 55-year-old patient with coronary heart disease of class III of the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS), after cardiac antero-lateral wall infarction at unknown time. Coronarography revealed 90% occlusion of three branches of left coronary artery. Ventriculography showed dyskinetic aneurysm of apex and anterior wall without presence of thrombus. On the basis of the performed examination the patient was qualified to off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) and left ventricular aneurysm resection (LVAn). On the beating heart with the use of Octopus II stabilizer distal (side to side) anastomosis was performed to marginal branch and (end to side) to circumflex as a jump graft. Subsequently left internal thoracic artery to left anterior descending branch anastomosis was performed. And then, on the beating heart on the two Teflon pads entry of aneurysm was closed by the mattress sutures. Next the aneurysm was resected and closed with additional continuous suture. There were non operative and post-operative complications.
