title: [Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who showed difficulty in respiratory control].
abstract: We experienced a patient with severe COPD undergoing OPCAB who showed difficult perioperative respiratory and circulatory management. Since patients with severe COPDs are often complicated with not only respiratory but also circulatory problems such as right heart failure, it is necessary to assess preoperatively the method of intraoperative management including operative procedure.
