Abstract
Coronary artery bypass grafting resulted in a fatal outcome in two patients with unsuspected cardiac amyloidosis. Despite preoperative symptoms of myocardial ischemia, each case represented a different pathophysiological combination of cardiac amyloidosis and coronary artery disease. Pitfalls preventing correct diagnosis and possible patterns of treatment are discussed.
Key words
coronary bypass surgery - myocardial infarction - cardiomyopathy
