Key result
In a 71-year-old woman with non-small cell lung cancer and a rare coronary artery to bronchial artery anastomosis, surgical resection was successfully performed despite intraoperative bleeding.
Case Report (n=1)
This case demonstrates that lung resection can be safely performed without inducing myocardial ischemia in a patient with a coronary-bronchial artery anastomosis, despite intraoperative challenges in bleeding control.
No ischemia followed bronchial artery ligation despite known anastomosis; single case leaves open need for systematic preoperative evaluation.

Hashimoto et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Non-small cell lung cancer with coronary artery to bronchial artery anastomosis (n=1). Surgical resection was evaluated. In a 71-year-old woman with non-small cell lung cancer and a rare coronary artery to bronchial artery anastomosis, surgical resection was successfully performed despite intraoperative bleeding.
