Abstract

A 22-year-old woman with left coronary ostial occlusion and aortic regurgitation due to aortitis syndrome was reported. The coronary artery bypass grafting, using saphenous vein and aortic valve replacement were performed. The distal anastomosis of saphenous vein was performed to left anterior descending artery (Seg. 6), just distal to the origin of circumflex artery. The postoperative course was uneventful. There was no peri-prosthetic valvular leakage and bypass graft was patent.
