Abstract

A 69-year-old man successfully underwent simultaneous repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm and resection of bronchogenic carcinoma during the same operation. Pulmonary lobectomy was performed following complete closure of the abdomen after aneurysmectomy to prevent any contamination. If the patients are carefully selected, an operation for abdominal aortic aneurysm and bronchogenic carcinoma can be safely performed with the advantage of treating both lesions simultaneously and thus sparing the patients from having to undergo the physical and psychosomatic pain, as well as the risk, of a second operation.
