title: [Combined operation for renovascular hypertension and ischemic heart disease].
abstract: We have experienced two patients of ischemic heart disease associated with renovascular hypertension. Patient 1 (60-year-old man) underwent LV aneurysmectomy and triple aortocoronary bypass grafting (saphenous vein to diagonal branch, left internal mammary artery to obtuse marginal branch, and right gastroepiploic artery to right coronary artery). Seventy five days after the initial cardiac surgery endarterectomy for the left renal artery and bifurcated Dacron graft implantation for the iliac artery obstruction were performed. Patient 2 (62-year-old woman) underwent simultaneous operation of both right nephrectomy and triple aortocoronary bypass grafting (saphenous vein grafts to obtuse marginal branch and right coronary artery, and left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending artery). Their postoperative courses were uneventful except unstable and high blood pressure for four to seven days after the operation. It appears that it should be decided to achieve either simultaneous or two stage approach for ischemic heart disease associated with renovascular hypertension based on the preoperative cardiac function. And both postoperative cardiac function and hypertension should be carefully managed until the blood pressure becomes stable after the surgery.
