A case of a 66-year-old man with ischemic heart disease and lung cancer is reported. Chest roentgenogram revealed an irregular 2.8 x 2.0 cm mass in the right upper lobe. Coronary angiography showed 75-90% stenosis of the left anterior descending artery, and these lesions was suspected to cause perioperative myocardial infarction. A concomitant operation of aorto-coronary bypass graft and right upper lobectomy was performed through median sternotomy. A concomitant operation must be considered to be definitive and ideally preferable in selected cases.
