Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with severely diseased ascending aorta has been associated with high risk for cerebral vascular accidents due to atheromatous embolism. In this situation, aortic no-touch techniques are widely employed as most important surgical strategy to prevent these complications. A case of 75-year-old man with effort angina associated with porcelain ascending aorta was reported here. He successfully underwent off-pump axillo-coronary bypass grafting with saphenous vein graft and has remained uneventful during his follow-up period. The off-pump axillo-coronary artery bypass grafting seemed to be an appropriate procedure for coronary revascularization with severely diseased ascending aorta.
