We present a case who received the simultaneous surgical corrections of unstable angina, acute gastric ulcer, and cholelithiasis. A 72-year-old man was admitted to our hospital due to unstable angina. An emergency coronary angiography was performed and we found severe 2 vessels disease (RCA ostium and proximal LAD lesions). After the admission, the angina was poorly controlled and the surgical treatment had been considered. The patient developed sudden hematemesis due to the uncontrolled bleeding from gastric ulcer. Then the emergency operation was performed. Partial gastrectomy with preservation of RGEA and cholecystectomy were done followed by CABG to RCA with RGEA and to LAD with autologous saphenous vein. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient is in good condition to date.

Bovine internal thoracic artery graft (BIOFLOW) was used for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). A 64-year-old woman who had undergone triple CABG with saphenous vein five years ago was referred to our hospital again with anginal attack. Coronary angiogram showed the obstruction of the graft for LAD and new stenosis at right coronary artery (RCA). Gastroepiploic artery was not available because the patient had a history of gastric ulcer several times, and saphenous vein had harvested initial operation. We planned re-CABG for LAD with left internal thoracic artery and RCA with BIOFLOW. But at the operation, LAD was not graftable because of severe calcification. So that we performed single CABG to RCA with BIOFLOW. The BIOFLOW was patent at the 28 th postoperative day. From our experience, BIOFLOW can be expected as a graft for CABG when saphenous vein, internal thoracic artery and gastroepiploic artery are not available.
