[Simultaneous operations for ischemic heart disease and lung cancer].
Two cases were operated on simultaneously for coronary revascularization and lung resections for cancer. Case 1 was a 79 year-old man, diagnosed with two vessels coronary artery disease and squamous cell carcinoma of left lower lobe. At the end of aortocoronary bypass grafting to LAD and first diagonal branch using saphenous vein, median sternotomy was closed, and lower lobectomy was performed through left posterolateral standard thoracotomy. Case 2 was a 65 year-old man who underwent aortocoronary bypass grafting to LAD first and left lingular segmentectomy via median sternotomy simultaneously. We concluded that a simultaneous operation was definitively and ideally a preferable method in most selected cases. The order of two operations for coronary artery and lung was also discussed.
