A 69-year-old man was scheduled for combined surgery involving off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) for coronary stenosis and total pneumonectomy for lung cancer. Anesthesia was maintained with fentanyl, thiopental, sevoflurane, nitrous oxide, and epidural anesthesia using 1.0% mepivacaine. Although a steady hemodynamic circulation was maintained during OPCABG, it was difficult to stabilize the circulation during the total pneumonectomy.
