Abstract
We present 2 cases of failed coronary angioplasty, with hemodynamic compromise, where emergency coronary artery bypass grafting was performed without cardiopulmonary bypass. The hypodynamic nature of the stunned myocardium in this circumstance allows this technique to be applied with relative ease to accessible vessels. As a consequence, reduced morbidity and hospital stay can be anticipated.
