Key result
Simultaneous off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery and modified radical mastectomy was successfully performed in a 56-year-old man with breast cancer and severe coronary artery disease.
Case Report (n=1)
Demonstrates the clinical scenario of performing simultaneous off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting and modified radical mastectomy to minimize anesthetic risks and avoid potential on-pump tumor acceleration.
Concomitant off-pump CABG and mastectomy may be feasible in select patients; Level 5 evidence leaves open need for prospective confirmation before practice consideration.
Concomitant surgeries for unrelated diseases can be performed to minimize the risks associated with surgery and general anesthesia. In treating a male patient with breast cancer and severe coronary artery disease, we used the beating heart technique for a coronary artery bypass graft to avoid the negative effects of on-pump bypass on the possible acceleration of tumor growth. In this report, we present a unique case of concomitant off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery and modified radical mastectomy in a 56-year-old man.

Kaya et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Breast cancer and severe coronary artery disease (n=1). Simultaneous off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery and modified radical mastectomy was evaluated. Simultaneous off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery and modified radical mastectomy was successfully performed in a 56-year-old man with breast cancer and severe coronary artery disease.
