Coronary artery bypass grafting was carried out in a 61-year-old man 42
years after he had undergone right pneumonectomy. At the time of operation,
the heart was displaced into the right hemithorax, which required
modification of the operative techniques. Despite poor pulmonary function
tests results preoperatively, the patient had an uneventful postoperative
course. The success in this patient may be attributed to careful
preoperative preparation, flexibility in the choice of techniques for
establishment of cardiopulmonary bypass and coronary artery bypass
grafting, and careful attention to perioperative fluid management.
