Case Reports[Quadruple coronary artery bypass grafting with arterial grafts--application of internal thoracic artery and right gastroepiploic artery].
Arterial graft has been widely applied for coronary artery bypass because of its excellent long-term patency. However, when more than four coronary bypass graftings should be carried out using internal thoracic arteries (ITAs) and right gastroepiploic artery (GEA), some surgical techniques must be devised. ⋯ In another case, GEA was divided into two segments and used as two free grafts. From our experience, we believe it is possible to perform multiple coronary revascularization using only arterial grafts with one median skin incision.

Review Case Reports[A case of successful surgical treatment for coarctation of the aorta associated with ruptured cerebral aneurysm].
We present a case of a sixteen year old boy with coarctation of the aorta who suffered ruptured cerebral aneurysm. Both cerebral and aortic lesions were successfully corrected. ⋯ Cerebroangiography demonstrated coarctation of the aorta. Clipping of cerebral aneurysm was done at first, then three months later, complete resection of the aortic coarctation and artificial graft replacement was done by using femoral veno-arterial cardiopulmonary bypass.
