[Simultaneous myocardial revascularization and abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (report of a fatal case)].
Patients with coronary disease associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm or aortoiliac occlusive disease often raise problems of operative strategy. In particular, the order in which these lesions should be treated is a frequent source of controversy. Our approach for the past two years has been a combined myocardial revascularization with abdominal aortic reconstruction in patients with both lesions. From 1999 through 2001 seven patients underwent combined abdominal aortic reconstruction with coronary artery bypass grafting. We report here the fatal case of combined coronary artery bypass grafting and abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Partial heparinization and operation without extracorporeal circulation caused acute thrombosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm and femoral arteries. Our first experience advocates using total heparinisation and cardiopulmonary bypass for combined cardiac-aortic procedures.
