title: Coronary artery bypass grafting in a patient with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia.
abstract: Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT, Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome) is an autosomal dominant condition which usually presents with recurrent epistaxis, due to the presence of mucocutaneous telangiectasia, and circulatory arteriovenous malformations (pulmonary, hepatic, cerebral and spinal). We present a patient with HHT and coronary artery disease, who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting with a successful outcome.
