The purpose of this paper was to assess the results and feasibility of simultaneous coronary artery bypass grafting and abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Twenty nine patients with a mean age of 65 years underwent simultaneous coronary artery bypass grafting and abdominal aortic aneurysm repair between June 1990 and March 2002. All patients had significant coronary artery disease and were considered as indicated for coronary artery bypass grafting. This was performed first in 28 patients and simultaneously with abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in one, with a mean number of grafts of 2.5, a mean aortic cross-clamp time of 40 minutes, and a mean bypass time of 115 minutes. Eight straight and 21 bifurcated grafts were employed. The total operating time averaged 400 minutes. The median postoperative hospital stay was 18 days. One patient died of stroke and mediastinitis, for a mortality rate of 3.5%. This experience suggests that combined coronary artery bypass grafting and abdominal aortic aneurysm repair is both safe and effective.
