Abstract:
A 47-year-old man was admitted with symptoms of angina pectoris. After evaluating the patient, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was performed. First, the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) was grafted to the obtuse marginal branch (OM), and then the right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA) was grafted to the posterior descending branch (PD). Just after completing anastomosis, we performed intraoperative thermal coronary angiography. The RGEA-PD was patent. However, the LITA-OM was not patent on thermal coronary angiography. After a re-anastomosis was done at the LITA-OM, thermal coronary angiography was again performed and the LITA-OM was found to be patent. The postoperative course was uneventful, and all grafts were patent on postoperative angiography. In conclusion, intraoperative thermal coronary angiography was found to be useful for CABG.
