Abstract
Transabdominal approach in redo coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) may avoid the risk related to repeat sternotomy. Redo CABG using this approach can be performed safely in selected cases. We report a case of redo off-pump CABG through a transabdominal approach in a 59-year-old woman with recurrent unstable angina after a previous CABG. Through a curvilinear epigastric incision, right gastroepiploic artery(RGEA) was harvested as a graft, and the RGEA-to-right coronary artery anastomosis was performed on the beating heart. A 1-day postoperative angiographic study showed the patent RGEA graft, and she was discharged on postoperative 4th day without any complication.
