We report successful descending thoracic aorto-circumflex coronary artery bypass grafting using a saphenous vein graft through left thoracotomy in a 44-year-old female. The patient developed severe angina attack after aortic and mitral valve replacement. Coronary angiography showed 99% stenosis of the circumflex coronary artery. Under general anesthesia, left femoral vein to arterial partial cardiopulmonary bypass was performed via left 4 th intercostal space. Body temperature was lowered to 22 degrees centigrade, and spontaneous cardiac fibrillation occurred. After minimal exposure by pericardial dissection of the circumflex coronary artery, distal anastomosis and then proximal anastomosis at the descending thoracic aorta was carried out under cardiac fibrillation. This surgery was done with minimal intra-and postoperative bleeding. Postoperative course was very smooth, and the patient was discharged and leading a normal life for 6 months after surgery.
