We performed the concomitant operation for constrictive pericarditis and coronary artery disease in an octogenarian. A 82-year-old male was hospitalized with dyspnea, edema of the lower extremities and pleural effusion on chest X-ray film. Cardiac catheterization revealed constrictive pericarditis and 75% stenosis of left anterior descending artery. Extensive pericardiectomy was performed including posterior wall of left ventricle and left atrium under the beating heart by using femoro-femoral partial bypass. Single CABG with a saphenous vein graft was performed following pericardiectomy. Postoperative cardiac catheterization showed good recovery of hemodynamics and patency of the bypass graft. Postoperative course was uneventful. The patient was discharged on twenty fifth postoperative day.
