Key result
Subclavian-to-coronary artery vein bypass serves as a satisfactory alternative to aorta-coronary bypass when the ascending aorta is unsuitable due to dissection or aneurysms.
Subclavian-to-coronary artery vein bypass serves as a viable alternative for coronary revascularization when the ascending aorta is compromised by dissection or aneurysm.
May support subclavian-to-coronary bypass in select aortic cases; leaves open need for prospective validation before wider use.
A retrograde aortic dissection that occurred during cardiopulmonary bypass was successfully repaired. The cause of dissection was related to the jet of retrograde perfusion. The use of subclavian-to-coronary artery vein bypass when the ascending aorta is not suitable for vein anastomosis because of dissection or aneurysms appears to be a satisfactory alternative to aorta-coronary bypass.
