ABSTRACT

Antecedents: Curative intended surgical treatment of lung cancer, in patients with cardiac disease that is also amenable to a surgical procedure, is a controversial hot topic inside the cardiothoracic surgery. Since the order of the interventions could carry different problems during its performance, multiple approaches to this situations, have been described. Material and methods: Review of the literature published in PubMed. Results: There is a high volume of case reports that shows tendency towards an increasing performance of both procedures with the same anesthesia without a significative increase of the complications. Conclusion: There is a lack of enough clinical studies of good quality for give a recommendation, the case reports must be taken in count with reservation.

KEYWORDS
