Abstract
We report the case of a 57-year-old woman who benefited from a complete revascularization of the heart, including a circumflex marginal coronary bypass grafting, through a right thoracotomy. This approach avoids sternal wound complications that can occur after high-dose mediastinal radiotherapy and omental flap reconstruction on the sternum.
