[Strategies for lung cancer with ischemic heart disease].

Abstract

For lung cancer surgery which merged ischemic heart disease to need coronary artery treatments, the strategy is demanded on the timing of each treatment. Our department conforms to American College of Chest Physicians( ACCP) guideline and treatment strategies are decided as follows. 1) If right heart load has already occurred, we choose limited surgery for lung cancer. 2) Two-stage surgery is performed with principle. Coronary artery treatment is given priority to against left main trunk disease and unstable angina. 3) Simultaneous surgery is chosen for lung cancer more than stage II or lung cancer pressing neighboring organ and vessel not to be able to wait coronary artery treatments. Since 2007, we performed 4 simultaneous surgeries and experienced 3 pneumonia cases, 1 patient died in 5 months. We must decide a strategy in consideration of progress of the lung cancer and cardiac urgency.
