We report a 27-year-old woman who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) for angina pectoris with coronary artery aneurysm due to Kawasaki disease. At the age of 3, she was diagnosed as Kawasaki disease with coronary artery aneurysms in the right coronary artery and the left anterior descending artery. She was medically followed-up since then Because an enlarged aneurysm and a stenotic lesion were recognized in the right coronary artery, operation was indicated. In operation, the right coronary artery was ligated at the inflow and the outflow of the aneurysm. OPCAB was also conducted with the right internal thoracic artery anastomosed to the right coronary artery. Postoperative course was uneventful, and she was discharged at the day 5 after operation. Revascularization using arterial grafts, especially the internal thoracic arteries, may be the choice for young patients to expect a good patency rate in the long-term.
