Combined coronary surgery and aortic valve replacement after previous right pneumonectomy.
Cardiac surgery in patients with previous pneumonectomy is infrequently reported. We report a case of combined coronary artery bypass grafting and aortic valve replacement in a patient with left ventricular ejection fraction less then 35% and a previous right pneumonectomy. All steps in operative management of this rare condition are discussed.
