Description
Summary:We report a 69-year-old woman with lung cancer and severe stenosis in the left anterior descending coronary artery. To perform a curative operation for the lung cancer without myocardial infarction, minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass and left lower lobectomy with video-endoscopic assistance were performed simultaneously. There was no major complication, and she was discharged at 14 days after the operation. This procedure may be useful and safe for patients with lung cancer and coronary artery disease.
