Context:

  • Evaluating surgical indications for patients with cardiac and concomitant pathologies.
  • Assessing combined surgical procedures for cardiac and neoplastic diseases.

Purpose:

  • To determine the feasibility and outcomes of combined cardiac and neoplastic surgeries.
  • To analyze the risk and benefits of simultaneous surgical interventions.

Summary:

  • Ten patients with cardiac and neoplastic disease underwent combined surgeries between 1992-1999.
  • Procedures included resections and extracorporeal circulation; no peri-operative deaths occurred.
  • Mean survival was 34 months, with no significant bleeding complications.
