چکیده

We report a case of coronary artery bypass grafting through the left thoracotomy in a patient who suffered from sternoclavicular joint infection with methicillin-resistance Staphylococcus aureus. We performed off-pump coronary bypass surgery, using the left internal thoracic artery to the left anterior descending coronary artery and a saphenous vein graft from the aorta to the circumflex artery, with a successful outcome. This approach seems to be safe and effective for coronary bypass grafting in situations where median sternotomy is not favorable, as in the described patient.

Left mini-thoracotomy for beating heart bypass grafting: a safe alternative to high-risk intervention for selected grafting of the circumflex artery distribution.

BACKGROUND Progression of disease and bypass graft attrition results in a population of patients who require repeated coronary interventions. Frequently, these patients have patent internal mammary artery grafts and require isolated intervention to the circumflex distribution. As an alternative to high-risk repeated sternotomy and conventional bypass surgery or catheter-based intervention, the ...
