To summarize the experience in lung resection synchronous with off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) in patients with lung tumor and coronary disease.
The clinical data of ten patients with coronary artery disease and lung tumor, 8 with peripheral malignant tumors and 2 with central benign tumors, all males, aged 56.2 (41 - 782), who underwent lung resection and OPCABG synchronously, were analyzed.
There was no hospital death in this series. All patients regained their ideal cardiorespiratory function postoperatively.
With experienced management, it is feasible and safe to perform lung resection and OPCABG synchronously for strictly selected patients.
