title: Combined coronary artery bypass grafting and lung surgery.
abstract: Combined coronary bypass and lung surgery was performed in 3 patients. Through a median sternotomy or a left thoracotomy, bypass grafting was performed on beating heart or under cardiopulmonary bypass, followed by the lung operation. The lung lesion was diagnosed as carcinoma in 2 patients and hydatid cyst in 1 patient. With few exceptions, beating heart coronary bypass through a median sternotomy can be performed in a combined operation.
