title: Coronary artery bypass grafting in cerebral palsy with severe contractures of extremities.
abstract: We report on a 76-year-old man suffering from cerebral palsy who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting. Limitation of available bypass grafts and the approach of intra-aortic balloon pump insertion are of great concern because of his specific posture resulting from multiple articular contractures. We describe our planning to survive coronary surgery in this specific situation.
