Abstract

Concomitant coronary artery disease and mitral valve disease are rare in Takayasu's Arteritis. Our patient had Takayasu's Arteritis diagnosed 9 years ago. She had an inferior myocardial infarction and double stent implantation 8 months ago. She was admitted to the hospital for chest pain, and 3 vessel diseases were diagnosed with significant mitral regurgitation due to anterior leaflet prolapse. In this report, we present perioperative management of our patient who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting and mitral valve replacement.
