A 75‐year‐old male with angina and a squamous carcinoma of the left lower lobe underwent a single‐stage procedure for the treatment of these lesions. Through a left postero‐lateral thoracotomy, a left lower lobectomy was performed with systematic nodal dissection including the subcarinal and paraaortic lymph nodes. A reversed saphenous vein segment was used to bypass the left anterior descending artery from the ascending aorta without cardiopulmonary bypass. (J Card Surg 2003; 18:22‐24)
