Combined Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting and Lung Resection in Patients with Lung Cancer Accompanied by Coronary Artery Disease
Introduction: Optimal surgical approach for the treatment of resectable lung cancer
accompanied by coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a contentious issue. In
this study, we present our cases that were operated simultaneously for
concurrent lung cancer and CAD.Methods: Simultaneous off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCABG) and lung
