Abstract

Recently we experienced coronary artery bypass graft in two patients over 70years of age. Among them, one case was 74 old year male and the other case was 73 old year male. The coronary artery diseases of them were angiographically diagnosed to triple vessel diseases. We only used great saphenous vein as graft vessel in two patients. The postoperative courses were good except mediastinal bleeding in 1 case. They were discharged with good results. They were still healthy 40 months in one and 30 months in the other after coronary artery bypass grafting.
