The outcome of patients with thoracic or thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm is often determined by the concomitant coronary artery disease. Two patients with thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm and concomitant single-vessel coronary artery disease underwent combined myocardial revascularization and repair of aortic aneurysm. The operations were performed through a left thoracotomy and thoracoabdominal incision with distal aortic perfusion using a partial femoro-femoral bypass and selective right lung ventilation. Coronary anastomoses were performed on the beating heart, and the aneurysm was replaced with a woven Dacron tube graft.
