Abstract
Porcelain aorta is associated to significantly increased risk of atheromatous embolization in patients who undergo cardiac surgery. We described three cases in which coronary artery bypass grafting was performed off-pump and the saphenous vein graft was anastomosed proximally to the left common carotid artery.
