Arterial myocardial revascularization using bilateral radial artery 17 years after right pneumonectomy

Tex Heart Inst J. 2004;31(1):96-8.

Abstract

We report the case of a 51-year-old man who underwent arterial myocardial revascularization with the use of bilateral radial arteries, 17 years after undergoing a right pneumonectomy. We used a fast-track anesthesia protocol for the procedure. There was no perioperative complication, and postoperative recovery was uneventful. The patient was discharged from the hospital 5 days after the operation.
