چکیده
Minimally invasive cardiothoracic combined surgery was performed successfully in an octogenerian with left anterior descending coronary artery disease and concurrent adenocarcinoma in the lingular segment of emphysematous lung. Through a limited anterior 4th intercostal thoracotomy, left anterior descending coronary artery bypass grafting without cardiopulmonary bypass was carried out using the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) and the interposed vein graft, and subsequently lingular segmentectomy was accomplished. Videothoracoscopy via a single port placed at the 5th intercostal space below the left nipple was useful for LITA mobilization, lymph nodes sampling and endo-cutter guidance. q 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

The length of the in situ right internal mammary artery (RIMA) often restricts its use as a graft to distal marginal arteries. We describe herein a retrocaval supra-azygous extra-pleural passage of the RIMA that allows a significant gain in length. We report our experience in 30 patients with distal marginal lesions or with large hearts. q 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
