Combined coronary artery bypass surgery and abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
Year: 1995
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: The proper management of patients with asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysms and significant coexistent coronary artery disease is still debatable. The most common approach has been to perform the coronary artery bypass surgery some weeks before the abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in the hope of reducing the cardiac morbidity and mortality. We report our initial experience of three consecutive elective cases where the coronary artery bypass surgery and the abdominal aortic aneurysm repair were performed at one operation by the same operating surgeon.
