Redo off-pump coronary bypass grafting with arterial grafts for Kawasaki disease

Kaoru Matsuura et al. Heart Vessels. 2006 Nov.

Abstract

Surgical revascularization for coronary artery lesions secondary to Kawasaki disease is relatively uncommon. The late stenosis of the saphenous vein graft is the problem to be solved. We report a case of redo off-pump coronary bypass grafting in a 35-year-old man, 20 years after bypass grafting using a saphenous vein graft. Off-pump total arterial revascularization was performed uneventfully. The procedure comprised grafting of bilateral internal thoracic arteries to left anterior descending branch and obtuse marginal branch, and radial artery to AV branch and posterior descending branch. Off-pump total arterial revascularization is a safe and less invasive procedure at the time of redo operation, even for patients with Kawasaki disease.
