Possibilities of combined surgical treatment of lung tumours and heart diseases.
The purpose of the study was a retrospective evaluation of the outcome of surgical therapy of lung cancer in patients where there was concomitant cardiac disease and who underwent a cardiac operation either because of ischemic heart disease or because of valvular disease. These patients were operated on at various time intervals (two to ten months) after their cardiac operation. Some patients had their lung cancer surgery after the cardiac operation because of the high risk of possible cardiac postoperative complications; in one patient the lung operation preceded the cardiac one.
