Coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with pulmonary aspergillosis.
Cardiovascular surgery in patients with pulmonary aspergillosis has been rarely reported. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for three cases of angina pectoris with pulmonary aspergillosis was successfully performed. Patients were discharged from our hospital without any complications of invasive Aspergillus cardiovascular infection. Careful perioperative management for preventing pulmonary complications is important.
