Abstract
-
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) technique has been much developed but CABG under
cardiopulmonary bypass has the unavoidable deficits such as generalized inflammatory
reaction from cardiopulmonary bypass and myocardial ischemia from aortic-cross clamp.
There has been remarkable advancement of CABG without cadiopulmonary bypass.
We performed CABG successfully without cardiopulmonary bypass. We performed CABG
successfully without cardiopulmonary bypass in two patients with multivessel coronary
disease who were failed to intervene with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
We herein report the two cases.
