title: Combined left pneumonectomy and off-pump coronary artery bypass through left thoracotomy.
abstract: Concomitant pneumonectomy and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) carry a high morbidity and mortality rate. We present the case of a patient operated on for left pneumonectomy and off pump CABG through a left thoracotomy incision in a one-stage procedure with a 1-year disease-free follow-up. To the best of our knowledge, simultaneous surgical management as presented in this patient has not been previously reported.
