Hybrid revascularization by MIDCAB and stent was performed in a 70-year-old man for reperfusion in the treatment of graft stenosis after CABG. The right SVG, which supplied coronary blood flow, was immediately under the median incision site, and was approached safely by the present method. After intervention, bleeding in the left thoracic cavity occurred, but this was treated conservatively. During intervention after cardiac surgery, transient heparinization of blood was performed for prevention of coagulation. Since strong anticoagulative treatment was continued thereafter, the patient was easily bled. Therefore, it appeared preferable to take time after cardiac operation or insert an indwelling drainage tube into the pleural cavity to monitor hemorrhage. The present method appears useful for patients undergoing re-operation or of high risk.
