title: [Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting for single coronary artery; report of a case].
abstract: A 55-year-old male with single coronary artery complicated by angina pectoris was referred to our department for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) . Coronary arteriography could not identify the left coronary orifice. Right coronary arteriography showed that the circumflex branch (Cx) followed the course of the normal right coronary artery (RCA) , and the left anterior descending branch (LAD) followed the Cx. Other findings included 90% stenosis in #4 posterior descending (PD) of RCA. Off-pump CABG was successfully performed to D1 with the left internal thoracic artery graft and to #4PD with the radial artery graft.
