| Abstract: | Recently, minimally invasive coronary artery bypass graft operation has been established as a new treatment strategy for cardiac surgeons. We report on a patient who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass graft operation through a mini-thoracotomy to the wrong coronary artery (first diagonal) with consecutive successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of the vessel involved (left anterior descending coronary artery) to demonstrate a special risk that is associated with this kind of operation. |
