<body>
<p>A 72-year-old diabetic (type II) patient with multivessel coronary artery disease (distal LMCA, critical LAD/D2 bifurcation stenosis, proximal OM1 stenosis and ostial PD of RCA) and normal systolic left ventricular function underwent surgical revascularization (9/2012). Since a long segment of LAD was intramural, LIMA was found to be too short so patient obtained two venous grafts &#x2014; on LAD and diagonal branch. Marginal branches as well as PD were found not suitable for grafting. 48 hours later ST elevation in inferior leads was observed and urgent angiography was carried out. Grafts to LAD and D2 had a TIMI III flow, showing LAD antero- and retrogradely but with a stenosis of LAD at the point of junction. Venous graft to D2 fills retrogradely the artery as well as the median part of the LAD. In addition native D2 is shown to be significantly narrowed distally to the point of graft junction. Probable cause of the ECG changes were due do ostial PD stenosis and being a smaller caliber vessel and patient haemodinamically stable, patient was treated conservatively, than later discharged. But at outdoor control silent ischaemia was documented and new angiography performed showing disfunction of the graft to distal LAD and still normally functioning graft to D2 but with stenosis as previous. We considered complete secondary revascularization but had to face a known allergy to aspirin and the need of effective dual antiplatelet therapy in a diabetic. Our strategy was to divide interventions in two steps &#x2014; firstly we did PCI</p>
<p>on LAD with 2 DES in proximal and median segment (Xience 2,5x28 + 3,0x18) and OM with 1 BMS (Yukon 3,0x16) under the protection of enoxaparine which was changed to varfarine and 140mg of clopidogrel which was substituted by ticagrelor. The primary result was excellent. In the second act intervention on LMCA and D2 via venous graft (DES) is considered after possible desensibilization treatment for aspirin allergy that poses us now the greatest problem.
