Key result
Aorta non-touch coronary artery bypass grafting was successfully performed in a 53-year-old man with triple-vessel disease and a history of total arch replacement, leading to an uneventful recovery.
Case Report (n=1)
Aorta non-touch coronary artery bypass grafting can be safely performed in patients with severe coronary artery disease and a history of total arch replacement for acute type A aortic dissection.
May support non-touch aorta CABG after prior arch replacement; leaves open generalizability from single case.
We report successful surgical treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD) in a 53-year-old man. The man was admitted to our hospital due to severe anterior chest pain. He had a surgical history of total arch replacement for acute type A dissection 10 years previously. Angiography showed triple-vessel disease and partial dissection of the descending aorta. To avoid excessive excision and to perform surgery safely, we chose aorta non-touch techniques for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged 30 days after surgery.

Takahashi et al. (2009) conducted a case report in Coronary artery disease with a history of total arch replacement for acute type A dissection (n=1). Aorta non-touch techniques for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was evaluated on Postoperative course and discharge. Aorta non-touch coronary artery bypass grafting was successfully performed in a 53-year-old man with triple-vessel disease and a history of total arch replacement, leading to an uneventful recovery.
