Combined coronary artery bypass grafting on the beating heart and abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is commonly associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). Eleven patients underwent the combined operation of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) on the beating heart and AAA repair: 10 underwent off pump CABG and 1 patient required centrifugal pump and pulmonary assist with closed circuit because of unstable hemodynamics. All cases were discharged without severe complications and with patent coronary bypass grafts.
