OBJECTIVE: The co-incidence of lun @entity2 d hea @entity299 increasing. This can be caused by population ageing, which has more co-morbidities and most likely due to the common etiological causes of both entities, i.e. smoking, hyp @entity101 d obe @entity28 he aim of this study was to analyze the outcomes of simultaneously performed heart surgery and pulmonary resection in a selected group of pat @entity1 ETHODS: From January 2002 to December 2011 we performed in our department 1115 pulmonary resections for lun @entity2 ignificant hea @entity299 quiring surgical treatment was diagnosed in 21 pat @entity1 om the whole group. In 12 pat @entity1 roup A; simultaneous heart surgery and lung resection procedure were performed. RESULTS: Group A consisted of 8 men @entity1 d 4 wom @entity1 th the median age of 67.8    5.9 years. In this group, 10 lobectomy procedures and 2 wedge resections for pulmonary met @entity3 re done. Nine pat @entity1 derwent coronary artery revascularization, 2 pat @entity1 derwent mitral valve replacement and one pat @entity1 derwent tum @entity5 moval from the left atrium. In 5 pat @entity1 xtracorporeal circulation (ECC) was needed, the remaining 7 pat @entity1 derwent myocardial revascularization using an off-pump technique. Group B consisted of 7 men @entity1 d 5 wom @entity1 th the age of 68.5    7.4 years. Ten lobectomy procedures and 2 wedge resections were performed. CONCLUSION: The risk of simultaneously performed lung resection and cardiac surgery is not high. Despite the certain differences in clinical indicators between group A and B, the safety of simultaneous procedure, in group A, was evident. Furthermore, earlier lung resection was enabled and the eventual complications from further surgical procedure were avoided (Tab. 5, Ref. 33). KEYWORDS: pulmonary resection, heart surgery, simultaneous heart and lung surgery, extracorporeal circulation.
