AbstractA case of left main coronary artery stenosis is presented in a boy late after an arterial switch operation, with significant ischaemia during exercise with good collateralisation through the right coronary artery. The problem was successfully managed with minimally invasive off-pump coronary artery bypass through median re-sternotomy.

Abstract Background The broken guide wire could get stuck anywhere during coronary artery angiography, but the broken guide wire in the brachial artery is extremely rare. Case presentation In this report, we describe our experience with a case of off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCABG) concomitant with the retrieval of a broken guide wire stuck in the brachial artery: a 56-year-old male patient was referred to our hospital because of tri-vessel disease and a broken guide wire stuck in the right brachial artery. He received OPCABG concomitant with the retrieval of the broken guide wire stuck in the brachial artery under general anesthesia. The patient was discharged uneventfully, and 12 months follow-up showed an excellent surgical outcome. Conclusion Open surgery is an effective means for treating patients with a guide wire stuck in the brachial artery during percutaneous coronary intervention.
