Coronary artery bypass surgery and
abdominal aortic aneurysm repair were performed simultaneously
during cardiopulmonary bypass in two patients with severe left
ventricular dysfunction. Both patients underwent coronary artery
bypass surgery first, followed by abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
during cardiopulmonary bypass. Combined surgery is reasonable
for patients with combined coronary artery disease and abdominal
aortic aneurysm. Aortic aneurysm repair during cardiopulmonary
bypass for patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction
also appears safe and effective.
