title: [Off-pump coronary artery bypass and right ventricular branch translocation for coronary aneurysm; report of a case].
abstract: The successful surgical treatment for a coronary artery aneurysm was reported. A 38-year-old female presented with angina pectoris due to right coronary artery stenosis. Angiography revealed a right coronary artery aneurysm and 90% stenosis at a site just proximal to the aneurysm, accompanied by the relatively large right ventricular (RV) branch originating from a mid portion of the aneurysm. Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to the right coronary artery (RCA) #3, translocation of RV branch to RCA #3, and ligation of RCA proximal and distal to the aneurysm were successfully performed. Post-operative course had been uneventful with satisfactory angiographic results. Coronary translocation with CABG could be a treatment option for coronary artery aneurysms.
