Lung Cancer Invading a Coronary Graft: Role of Coronary Intervention and Robotic Surgery

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery
Stephani C WangWalter W Scott

Abstract

The treatment of primary lung cancer of the left upper lobe in those patients with prior coronary artery bypass graft is difficult to plan and execute due to the potential for invasion into coronary grafts, particularly the left internal mammary artery. We present a patient with squamous cell carcinoma invading into coronary artery bypass grafts, but which is successfully treated by a combination of percutaneous coronary intervention followed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
