Tóm tắt

The right internal thoracic artery to the right coronary artery bypass with ligation of the proximal native vessel is a simple and reliable option for the treatment of an anomalous aortic origin of the right coronary artery arising from the left sinus of Valsalva without an intramural course. Coronary artery bypass grafting is an uncomplicated option for elderly patients, those with connective tissue diseases, and those for whom combined aortic valve procedures are planned. Herein, we present four cases of this anomaly that underwent right internal thoracic artery anastomosis to the distal right coronary artery along with proximal right coronary artery ligation using a surgical clip. There was no occurrence of complications such as hypoperfusion syndrome, graft occlusion, recurrent symptoms, or late cardiac events.
