Article Synopsis
- - Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a rare connective tissue disease that impacts the formation of elastic fibers, which can complicate surgical procedures like revascularization in affected patients.
- - A notable case involved a 43-year-old man with PXE and coronary artery disease who had successful off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery using the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to the left anterior descending (LAD) artery.
- - This case represents the first occurrence of off-pump surgery for PXE in the UK and the second recorded in medical literature, suggesting a need for further research to establish standardized surgical practices for PXE patients.
