Abstract :
A 79- year-old man was admitted to our hospital with the complaint of progressive angina pectoris. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) had been performed with the saphenous vein graft (SVG) to the left anterior descending artery (LAD) 23 years ago. He had type 2 diabetes mellitus for 18 years. Serum lipid parameters and electrocardiogram were normal. He was receiving clopidogrel because of aspirin-induced gastritis. Coronary angiography revealed the significant lesions in the circumflex coronary artery (CX), complete occlusions in the proximal regions of the LAD and the right coronary artery (RCA).
