[Coronary artery bypass grafting for a patient with angina pectoris and ulcerative colitis].

The implementation of coronary artery bypass grafting for angina pectoris with ulcerative colitis has been rarely reported. A 63-year-old man has a past history of acute myocardial infarction in 1984 and ulcerative colitis since 1988. Coronary angiography and cardiac catheterization showed total obstruction of segment 2, 95% stenosis of segment 6, 75% stenosis of segment 7 and total obstruction of segment 12 with LVEF 23%. Coronary artery bypass grafting was performed under IABP support and cardiopulmonary bypass with aprotinin infusion after an inflammatory reaction of ulcerative colitis was adequately suppressed. Ulcerative colitis was controlled by administering 40 mg of predonisolone during perioperative period.
