[Simultaneous operation of emergency coronary artery bypass grafting and gastrotomy with suturing ulcer].
A 62-year-old man with complaints of severe chest pain came to our hospital. An emergency coronary angiography was performed and he was diagnosed as having acute myocardial infarction. Due to severe triple vessels disease he was referred to the department of Cardiovascular Surgery to undergo emergency coronary artery bypass grafting. In the coronary care unit, sudden hematoemesis due to hemorrhagic gastric ulcer occurred, however, just when he was going to be transferred to the operation room. Because the gastric bleeding was thought to be serious under extracorporeal circulation, which was indispensable for coronary artery bypass grafting, gastrotomy with suturing ulcer was performed prior to median sternotomy with use of intraaortic balloon pumping. Severe infection was not complicated. His postoperative course was uneventful.
