  • Title: Innominate artery-coronary artery bypass graft in a patient with calcific aortitis.
    Author: Weinstein G, Killen DA.
    Journal: J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1980 Feb; 79(2):312-3. PubMed ID: 6986005.
    Abstract:
    Calcification of the ascending thoracic aorta may make aortic cross-clamping dangerous and aorta-coronary artery bypass grafting impossible. A patient with a severely calcified ascending aorta owing to syphilitic aortitis presented such a problem. Sequential saphenous vein grafting was done to three coronary arteries, the proximal anastomosis being made to the noncalcified innominate artery. This technique may offer a practical solution to this problem.
