[Concomitant cardiac and pulmonary operation in a case of lung tumor with unstable angina].
The patient, a 55-year-old male, suffered from malignant lung tumor with complaints of bloody sputum and anterior chest pain. Angina pectoris was detected during neoadjuvant chemotherapy, because of total obstruction at #7 and 99% stenosis at #12, as disclosed by CAG. As he complained frequently anginal chest pain in the course of time, the concomitant cardiac and pulmonary operation was decided via median sternotomy and fourth intercostal thoracotomy. The operating procedure was as follows: 1) mediastinal lymph nodes dissection before extracorporeal circulation, 2) aorto-coronary bypass (#8, #12), 3) final left lower lobectomy. He was histopathologically diagnosed as a rare case of endobronchial type of leiomyosarcoma. He has achieved a remarkable recovery, without tumor recurrence or angina pectoris for ten months postoperatively, and has been allowed to resume a normal life.
