Abstract: | We report a case of severe stenosis in the ostium of both the coronary artery and the proximal left vertebral artery and severe aortic regurgitation secondary to Takayasu's aortitis. A 47-year-old woman underwent simultaneous repair consisting of aortic valve replacement, triple coronary artery bypass grafting, and aorto-left vertebral artery bypass. Saphenous vein grafts to 3 coronary arteries and the left vertebral artery were proximally anastomosed on a bovine pericardial patch in the ascending aorta. Since the patient had severe preoperative ischemic symptoms from vertebral-basilar insufficiency, we clamped the vertebral artery during reconstruction under deep hypothermic circulation. The postoperative course was uncomplicated. Simultaneous repair of such multiple lesions requires meticulous planning of surgical procedures and circulatory assist systems. |
