Surgical management of patients with concomitant resectable lung lesions and critical cardiac disease is controversial. We examined the usefulness of intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) for lung cancer patients with severe ischemic heart disease. They had difficulty being treated by coronary intervention. And these patients are mistimed the operation because of severe ischemic heart disease. In lung cancer patients who are surgically resected, left main trunk (LMT) disease, unstable angina and low ejection fraction (less than 30-40%) are indications for scheduled IABP. No complications were observed due to IABP in any patients of this group.rWe conclude that scheduled IABP is useful for lung cancer patients with severe ischemic heart disease.
