Minimally invasive beating heart full coronary artery bypass in a patient with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Abstract

There are various problems associated with cardiopulmonary bypass in cardiac operations of patients withcancer. Our patient was a 73-year-old male patient diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Coronaryangiography of the patient who was planned to undergo tumor surgery revealed severe anomalies extending tothe proximal of the diagonal 1 at the left anterior descending artery osteal and diagonal 1 distinction. Minimallyinvasive off-pump direct coronary artery bypass was performed in the patient. The patient was discharged onthe 4th postoperative day and he was operated with the cause of pancreatic cancer at the third week. We thinkthat minimally invasive coronary bypass without cardiopulmonary bypass can be performed with delayedprevention of cancer treatment and faster healing in patients with cancer of various systems.
