Abstract
Six cases of combined coronary artery bypass graft and abdominal aortic aneurysmectomy were performed in a 1-year period at the Washington Hospital Center. All cases except one were uncomplicated and the average hospital stay for patients with no complications was less than 10 days. We found that there were distinct advantages in combining these two procedures. Although our experience is limited and no definite criteria for combining such procedures have been established, we feel that this approach has potential as the treatment of choice in patients with severe coronary artery disease and abdominal aortic aneurysm.
