Abstract :
A 54-year-old male patient with polyarteritis nodosa, treated with percutaneous coronary interventions and three stent implantations because of repeated myocardial infarctions presented again with ST-elevated myocardial infarction. The last coronary angiography revealed critical LAD instent stenosis and also Cx lesions. The patient underwent two–vessel coronary artery bypass graft and discharged without any problem. LIMA is used as a conduit for coronary artey bypass for the treatment of this patient and the surgical management of this patient is discussed here.
