Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We report the case of a 43-year-old patient with acute ST-segment elevation anterior myocardial infarction who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. To reduce the duration of ongoing myocardial ischemia, acute reperfusion of the infarcted coronary artery was achieved using an aortocoronary shunt, thereby perfusing the occluded left anterior descending artery. Under the protection of the aortocoronary shunt, the left internal thoracic artery was harvested and was thereafter anastomosed to the left anterior descending artery. The patient had an uneventful postoperative recovery. |
