Abstract

A 66-year-old female had ischemic heart disease due to left main lesion complicated with calcified ascending aorta, right pelvic carcinoma and liver cirrhosis. The combined operations with coronary artery bypass by left internal thoracic artery under the hypothermic ventricular fibrillation with cardiopulmonary bypass and right nephrectomy were performed successfully. Postoperatively Treadmill exercise test and scintigram revealed no ischemihc change. She is doing well. The aortocoronary bypass to left anterior descending artery using a left internal thoracic artery under hypothermic ventricular fibrillation with cardiopulmonary bypass might be one of surgical options for high risk patient.
