Abstract
A 74-year-old woman showed electrocardiographic signs of severe lateral ischemia with no hemodynamic consequence after mitral valve repair for severe mitral regurgitation. An angiogram showed interruption of the proximal circumflex artery. The patients then underwent an on-pump beating heart marginal branch revascularization. A new angiogram performed before discharge showed a widely patent graft. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.File in questo prodotto:
