CORONARY-ARTERY BYPASS-GRAFTING IN A PATIENT WITH ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME

We report a 32-year-old female patient with antiphospholipid syndrome including severe coronary artery disease and multiple arterial and ven ous thrombosis. The patient had occlusion of the right internal thorac ic artery, diffuse stenosis of the left internal thoracic artery, and occlusion of the left saphenous vein. The patient underwent successful coronary artery bypass grafting using the right gastroepiploic artery and a segment of the right saphenous vein. Antiphospholipid syndrome should be considered in young patients with myocardial infarction.
