We present a case of a patient who had coronary artery bypass grafting during surgery for severe aortic stenosis. Seven months after surgery the arterial graft was occluded following native coronary artery disease regression. The heart team must consider this possibility when assessing the requirement for bypass grafts in a borderline lesion.
