Abstract
-
Coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) without cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) is now an accepted technique of myocardial revascularization in selective cases of coronary arterial occlusive disease. The lesion was total(100%) occlusion of proximal right coronary artery (RCA) without any evidence of disease in the rest of coronary arteries. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty(PTCA) was tried but unsuccessful. We herein report a case of successful CABG to right coronary artery without CPB on a patient with complete occlusion of RCA and symptomatic with minimal activity.
