[Coronary artery bypass grafting using the right gastroepiploic artery--an experience of simultaneous operation].

Abstract

Coronary artery bypass grafting using the right gastroepiploic artery and cholecystectomy were simultaneously performed on a 62-year-old woman with both angina pectoris and cholecystolithiasis, with good results being obtained. No case of combined surgery with such coronary bypass has been reported yet. The present simultaneous surgery from our recent experience was regarded as a very useful surgical approach because of only one possible risk of surgical complications such as anesthetic accident, infection, etc, and of easy availability of the right gastroepiploic artery at laparotomy for coronary artery bypass grafting requiring some arterial graft.
