Abstract

The case of a 67-year-old male with double-vessel coronary artery disease combined with a severely calcified ascending aorta, moderate aortic insufficiency, cholecystic stones, and unruptured intracranial aneurysm is presented. Successful coronary artery bypass reoperation is described using the right gastroepiploic artery through an additional left anterior thoracotomy on the beating heart.
