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.
期刊介绍:
The Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals is an international peer-reviewed journal pertaining to cardiovascular and thoracic medicine. Besides original clinical manuscripts, we welcome research reports, product reviews, reports of new techniques, and findings of special significance to Asia and the Pacific Rim. Case studies that have significant novel original observations, are instructive, include adequate methodological details and provide conclusions. Workshop proceedings, meetings and book reviews, letters to the editor, and meeting announcements are encouraged along with relevant articles from authors.
