Abstract:
Lung bullae can severely compromise lung function. Smoking is an important cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, as well as coronary artery disease and peripheral arterial disease. Significant diseases in the cardiovascular and thoracic systems may require multiple interventions apart from medical management. We discuss a patient in which simultaneous bilateral bullectomy and coronary artery bypass grafting were performed through the median sternotomy approach.
