This case report demonstrates the feasibility of a two-stage minimally invasive direct CABG combined with simultaneous colectomy in a complex patient with severe coronary insufficiency and colon cancer.
Feasibility of two-stage MIDCAB with colectomy shown in one complex case; leaves open prospective safety and outcome data.
A patient who had previously undergone coronary artery bypass grafting presented to our institution with severe coronary insufficiency and colon cancer. We performed two-stage minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting and simultaneous colectomy. The operative technique is detailed, and justification of the two-stage procedure and simultaneous approach in such patients is discussed.
