Abstract
Coronary ostial stenosis between an interposition graft and coronary artery is rare and fatal. A 46-year-old woman who had reconstruction of both coronary arteries using interposition grafts for type A acute dissecting aneurysm presented with acute chest pain. Emergent coronary artery bypass grafting was done with saphenous vein grafts. Inappropriate use of gelatin-resorcinol-formaldehyde glue can be associated with ostial stenosis in the long term. Transesophageal echocardiography is useful to diagnose ostial stenosis of the coronary arteries.
