    Abstract:
    A case of 76-year-old man had a coin lesion in the chest roentgenogram, which rapidly grew with central necrosis, and chest pain at rest. Squamous cell carcinoma was concluded from transbronchial lung biopsy for that lesion. Coronary angiography revealed long segment occlusion of the left anterior descending which was not a candidate for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and 90% stenosis of the left circumflex coronary artery. Aorto-coronary bypass grafting and right upper lobectomy via midsternotomy, was simultaneously performed. the postoperative course was fair and there was no cardiac complication. A simultaneous operation is more preferable in selected cases.
