    Abstract:
    An 85-year-old man had a 2 vessel coronary disease. Preoperative echogram showed the lateral femoral circumflex artery (LFCA) had enough diameter and length. We performed coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) with the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) and LFCA. Postoperative coronary angiogram showed that the LFCA bypass graft was patent and supplied sufficient blood to the anastomosed vessel.
