Reoperative coronary artery bypass grafting (redo CABG)operation is associated with a high rate of mortality up to11.4%. It has been estimated that 10-20% of patients withhistory of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) operationneed redo CABG operation within 10 years. Due tohigh operation risk percutaneous coronary interventionshave emerged as the preferred treatment for the patientswith a history of CABG operation and presenting withacute coronary syndrome. Here, we reported percutaneouscoronary intervention in a patient needed redo CABGoperation.
