A member asked:
How much more risky or dangerous is it to perform a pneumonectomy on someone who had a bypass surgery 8 years previous ?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Surgery: It is risky because of the heart disease not necessarily due to the bypass surgery. Talk to your cardiologist before surgery to optimize meds.

Significant: Unusual also since pnemonectomy is most common for cancer that is extensive. If on left must be careful with mammary graft. Wedge or lobectomy are well tolerated if the heart function is good. Consider a cath to be sure of graft status. With good preparation, it is possible.
