[A concomitant operation of coronary artery bypass grafting and thymectomy: a case report].
A 63-year-old man was successfully operated upon concomitantly for coronary artery disease and invasive thymoma. The chest roentogenogram showed a mass shadow in the anterior mediastinum, which was 6.0 x 4.0 cm in size and irregular. Coronary angiography revealed complete obstruction of the right coronary artery and 90% stenosis of the first diagonal branch (#9). Following thymectomy combined with the resection of the left phrenic nerve and the mediastinal pleura, coronary artery bypass grafting with the major saphenous vein was performed to #4 PD and #9. This is the first report of concomitant surgery for the ischemic heart disease and invasive thymoma in Japan.
