A 56-year-old man was admitted to our medical center because of acute anterior myocardial infarction. Emergent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) resulted in successful dilatation at the stenotic lesion of the left anterior descending artery (LAD). Three months later, coronary angiography showed not only a restenosis but also an aneurysm formation at the same portion. This lesion was too risky to redo PTCA. We successfully performed coronary bypass grafting with the internal thoracic artery.
