  • Title: [Emergency coronary artery bypass grafting using the internal thoracic artery graft after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in a patient with left main coronary artery disease associated with acute myocardial infarction].
    Author: Seki T, Hagihara H, Nishida Y, Nonaka H.
    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 1997 Apr; 50(4):308-11. PubMed ID: 9095592.
    Abstract:
    A 66-year-old woman suffering acute myocardial infarction developed cardiogenic shock during urgent coronary angiography, which demonstrated a subtotal occlusion of the left main coronary artery and the triple-vessel coronary artery disease. The patient survived, after prompt percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty for the left main coronary artery disease, followed by emergency triple-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting using the internal thoracic artery graft for the left anterior descending artery. Postoperative angiography demonstrated well patent bypass grafts with good preservation of left ventricular function.
