title: Extended left pneumonectomy combined with off-pump coronary revascularization (CABG).
abstract: Here, we will report on a 63-year-old patient with a centrally located squamous cell carcinoma of the left lung with complete atelectasis and tumor infiltration into mediastinal pleura and fat. A known coronary two-vessel disease, which became highly symptomatic during the operation made a change of the planned surgical strategy necessary.
