A young man with Takayasu's disease had severe right and left coronary ostial stenoses. Severe angina was relieved by operation at which the right coronary ostium was enlarged by a pericardial patch extending across the stenosis from aorta to coronary artery; the aortic end of a vein graft to the left coronary artery was attached to this patch. This technique may reduce the risk of recurrence of ostial stenosis or of stenosis at graft origins.

Key Words: Takayasu's disease • ostial stenosis • magnetic resonance imaging • coronary artery bypass grafting • coronary ostioplasty
