Pseudoxanthoma elasticum: An unique entity in the coronary surgery
View through CrossRef
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum is a rare connective tissue disease which affects the synthesis of the elastic fibres. It is an area of uncertainty for patients affected by this disease requiring surgical revascularization. We present a case report of a 43-year-old gentleman was known to have pseudoxanthoma elasticum syndrome (PXE) and coronary artery disease. He underwent successful off pump LIMA to LAD. Interestingly, this is the first case in UK and second one in the literature managed with an off-pump strategy. The predilection of the histopathological changes in PXE patients, should not prevent the routine use in of the left internal mammary artery as a standard conduit in CABG. Further studies are required to standardize the practice for surgical revascularization in the patients with PXE.
