Abstract
A 38-year-old man with polyarteritis nodosa presented with exertional chest pain. Coronary angiography revealed 3-vessel coronary artery disease. We performed 2-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting with the saphenous vein because the left internal thoracic artery was in poor condition. Histological examination of the left internal thoracic artery showed a strong effect of polyarteritis nodosa.
