| Popis: | Porcelain aorta is associated to significantly increased risk of atheromatous embolization in patients who undergo cardiac surgery. We described three cases in which coronary artery bypass grafting was performed off-pump and the saphenous vein graft was anastomosed proximally to the left common carotid artery. This technique permitted avoidance of ascending aortic manipulation and reduce the risk of atheromatous embolization. |
