Simultaneous abdominal aortic aneurysm repair during the on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.
A case of simultaneous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is reported. A 74-year-old man was diagnosed with left main coronary disease and infrarenal AAA. Triple CABG and infrarenal AAA repair were performed simultaneously, by different surgeons, on CPB. The duration of CPB, aortic clamp time, and total operation time was 81 min, 33 min, and 245 min, respectively. The patient was extubated three hours after ICU admission and the postoperative course was uneventful. This method is useful for reduction of operation time, for blood salvage, and for adjustment of preload and afterload of the vulnerable heart during AAA repair.
