Two cases of vein patch angioplasty for ischemic heart disease were presented. The first case (59-year-old female) admitted to our hospital because of posterolateral infarction. Preoperative coronary angiogram (CAG) showed stenosis of 4-PD of RCA, proximal LAD and distal LCX. The second case (62-year-old male) admitted for operation of abdominal aortic aneurysm. Preoperative CAG showed stenosis of proximal RCA and mid LAD. Stenosis of 4-PD and proximal RCA was relieved by patch angioplasty using saphenous vein graft and coronary artery bypass to LAD was performed by left internal thoracic artery graft. Both cases showed successful enlargement of RCA stenosis and good graft patency at the postoperative CAG. Vein patch angioplasty is thought to be an alternative method for coronary revascularization to ischemic heart disease.

D017202 Myocardial Ischemia A disorder of cardiac function caused by insufficient blood flow to the muscle tissue of the heart. The decreased blood flow may be due to narrowing of the coronary arteries (CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE), to obstruction by a thrombus (CORONARY THROMBOSIS), or less commonly, to diffuse narrowing of arterioles and other small vessels within the heart. Severe interruption of the blood supply to the myocardial tissue may result in necrosis of cardiac muscle (MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION).
