    Abstract:
    A 71-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with massive GI bleeding and followed by acute myocardial infarction. Severe three vessel coronary artery disease with poor left ventricular performance (EF: 40%) was demonstrated by coronary angiography. He was referred for CABG. He had also cholecystitis, which needed surgical treatment simultaneously. Combined CABG and cholecystectomy were performed without using gastroepiploic artery as a bypass graft, and through separate median sternotomy and through right upper transrectal laparotomy. Postoperative course was uneventful. This combined procedure is beneficial for the patients with acute cholecystitis and unstable angina.
