Patients with porcelain aorta carry a high risk of systemic embolism during coronary artery bypass grafting. Avoiding manipulation of the aorta during operation using the beating heart approach can prevent atheroemboli. In patients with diffuse atherosclerotic coronary artery disease who require endarterectomy, coronary bypass operations can be done safely on the beating heart.
