Coronary artery bypass grafting after pneumonectomy

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.
