May support no-touch off-pump CABG in porcelain aorta; hypothesis-generating from one case, should not change practice.
Case Report (n=1)
Coronary-coronary bypass grafting can be utilized as an aortic no-touch technique during off-pump CABG to reduce the risk of atheroembolism in patients with severely atherosclerotic ascending aortas.
Yalçınkaya et al. (2009) conducted a case report in Extensive atherosclerotic aorta (n=1). Coronary-coronary bypass grafting was evaluated. Coronary-coronary bypass grafting using a saphenous vein graft was performed in a patient with an extensive atherosclerotic aorta during off-pump surgery to minimize aortic touch.
