[Coronary artery bypass grafting in two patients with single coronary artery].

We experienced two patients with single coronary artery who underwent CABG using arterial grafts successfully. In two patients coronary angiography demonstrated a single coronary artery which was originated in left coronary sinus and was bifurcated to LAD and LCx, and then RCA branched off proximal LAD, passing in front of the right ventricular out flow tract (Sharbaugh Type L-IIa). To the first patient, a 52-year-old man who had angina on exertion due to long stenosis of RCA, CABG to RCA using RITA was carried out. To the second patient, a 57-year-old man who had inferior myocardial infarction due to 90% stenosis of proximal LAD, CABG to RCA using RITA and LAD using LITA was carried out. Single coronary artery without additional congenital cardiac anomalies may lead to myocardial ischemia, necessitating CABG as coronary reconstructions.
