Abstract

We present a case of coronary artery bypass grafting in a 78-year-old man with triple vessel disease and concomitant cardiac amyloidosis. Postoperatively he developed a profound low cardiac output state and multi-organ failure. He died 3 weeks following surgery. Bypass surgery is rarely performed in patients with cardiac amyloidosis, and there is little in the literature regarding outcomes. The few published cases present a bleak picture, and hence percutaneous coronary intervention should always be preferred.
