We present a 59-year-old woman who underwent combined pulmonary resection for bronchiectasis with massive, recurrent hemoptysis and redo coronary artery bypass. She had previously been hospitalized four times for massive hemoptysis. She had also undergone coronary artery bypass and had symptomatic severe graft disease. We performed simultaneous right middle lobectomy and redo triple bypass. At surgery, lobectomy was performed before heparinization, then redo bypass was performed using on-pump cardiopulmonary bypass. The postoperative course was uneventful.
