    Abstract:
    A 28-year-old man developed acute anteroseptal myocardial infarction. Emergency coronary angiography revealed multiple coronary aneurysms, associated with complete obstruction of left anterior descending artery (LAD) and 50 to 99% stenosis of the right and the circumflex coronary artery (CX). Coronary artery bypass graftings were performed seven weeks after successful emergency intracoronary thrombolysis. The saphenous vein graft was anastomosed to CX, the internal thoracic artery to LAD, the right gastroepiploic artery to RCA just above the bifurcation. Post-operative course was uneventful. On sixth post operative week cardiac catheterization was performed. The study showed all three bypass grafts and native coronary artery to be patent. The patient is now followed up under anticoagulant therapy.
