    Abstract:
    A case of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for single coronary artery complicated by angina pectoris (AP) was reported. The patient was a 74-year-old male, complained of anginal discomforts. His single coronary artery originated in left coronary sinus, bifurcated to the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and the circumflex artery (CX), and then, an abnormal communicating branch, passing in front of the right ventricular outflow, was branched from the proximal region of LAD; it showed a route corresponding to the proximal region of the right coronary artery (RCA). The distal region of RCA and the posterior descending artery were angiographed in continuity from CX. Other findings included 75%-stenosis at LAD-#6 and 90%-stenosis at CX-#13. Using two saphenous vein grafts, CABG operation was carried out on those regions at LAD-#7 and distal CX corresponding to #3 normally. Postoperatively, anginal discomforts disappeared, and favorable results were obtained.
