Abstract:
We experienced a rare case of congenital pericardial defect incidentally found during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)[OPCAB]. We performed off-pump for a 61-year-old man. He was asymptomatic but was noted to have an abnormal chest X-ray showing the enlarged heart. He had right ventricule lifting upward and apex shifting far to left side. Partial absence of the left pericardium was found. The surgery was technically more demanding than usual, because of heart rotation and inadequate pericardial stitch.
