Is It Possible To Perform Triple Bypass And Removal Of Left Lung Lobe Together?
My angiogram result showed that I need triple bypass. at ore operative tests they noticed a small spot in the left lung. I was operated on Oct. 4, 2011 for colon tumor & 5 lymph nodes confirmed the cancer cells. Biopsy result showed that I cancer in left lung came from colon lymphnode. My question is that is it possible to perform triple bypass & left lung lobe removal togeather & what are the risks. I am 77 years old but with a good health.

Dear Sir,
It is a quite big surgery. Usually these two are not performed together, as perioperative risk is increases. Anyway, I would advise you to talk with your doctors. In case of one surgery, there should be a team of heart and lung surgeons. They should evaluate risks and possibilities of doing such major surgery.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
