Coronary artery bypass grafting was performed on a 31-year-old female for treatment of active aortitis syndrome with unstable angina. Preoperative coronary angiography revealed ostial stenosis of coronary arteries. The ascending aorta was intensely inflamed. In the proximal anastomosis, the ascending aorta was sutured with an autogenous pericardial patch and anastomosed with the saphenous vein (SV) to be jointed to left anterior descending (LAD). At the same time, gastroepiploic artery (GEA) was connected to LAD by taking into account a degenerative change in remote stage. Right coronary artery was anastomosed with right internal thoracic artery (RITA). The postoperative course was satisfactory. On graft angiography SV and RITA were adequately patent, but GEA was unsatisfactorily patent because of its competition with SV for patency. This surgical procedure seemed to be an option to be indicated for a patient with unstable angina at an active inflammatory stage.

D001015 Aortic Arch Syndromes Conditions resulting from abnormalities in the arteries branching from the ASCENDING AORTA, the curved portion of the aorta.
