The influence of open-heart surgery on survival of patients with co-existent surgically amenable lung cancer (stages I and II)

Abstract: Open-heart surgery for defined coronary-artery disease in patients with surgically amenable lung carcinoma carries a substantially higher perioperative risk, but has no influence on long term results. Metastatic spread is possibly promoted by open-heart surgery. Optimal treatment, consisting of complete revascularization and appropriate lung resection, is therefore sufficiently justified by these results.

“…As for our finding of the second meta-analysis that combined LC and HD surgical procedures were significantly associated with higher postoperative proportions of complications, this appears to be in accordance with previous studies supporting that higher perioperative risks and overall perioperative mortality are compatible rather to simultaneous than staged cardiac and LC surgery (5,6,9,14,15,20,21). A possible explanation could be that combination of LC and cardiac surgery constitutes by itself a factor predisposing to a more severe early postoperative clinical condition attributed to increased surgical stress.…”

“…Issues investigated deal with the impact of: (I) age (1-4); (II) safety of choice for a combined or staged surgical procedure (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19); (III) on-or off-pump technique on postoperative complications occurrence (12,16,(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27); (IV) an extended surgery, due to LC infiltration in the left atrium and/or great vessels, on postoperative outcome (24,(28)(29)(30); (V) videoassisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) method on primary LC patients (31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36); (VI) neo-adjuvant or adjuvant treatment (37)(38)(39)(40); and (VII) factors, other than the aforementioned ones, influencing postoperatively patients operated for primary LC and HD. These factors were: myocardial ischemia (41), arrhythmias (41,42), type of grafts selected (20), high preoperative serum level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (43), low preoperative forced expiratory volume in one second ...…”

“…A point of major concern, however, is the increase in rnetastastatic disease which has been linked to the extracorporeal circulation used during open-heart surgery. Various studies have addressed this issue in patients with lung cancer and coronary disease where resection of the tumor and coronary revascularisation were done at the same time [13,14]. In our case since the tumor was in the pulmonary vein, we believed that there was not an increased risk of dissemination by using CBP.…”

“…A two-stage technique requires an interval in which the patient has the time to recover. This approach is safe, with a morbidity and mortality rate lower than a combined procedure (range: 3-10 vs 5.4-20.8% for mortality and 52 vs 86% for morbidity) [28][29][30][31]. The main drawback, however, is the delay of the treatment for cancer, which might result in its progression to an incurable disease.…”

“…This could be attributed to inadequate access to lymph nodes. As an alternative, a posterolateral thoracotomy [30] or a T-shaped sternotomy with anterolateral extension through the fifth intercostal space [70] is effective for CABG, resection and lymph node dissection [3].…”
