The prevalence of gallstones in Athens in 1973 was studied in an autopsy survey that covered 1,448 subjects of all ages and both sexes. Gallstones were found in 5.2% of all subjects and in 6.2% of subjects older than 40 years. The prevalence was higher in females and considerably higher in persons who died from cirrhosis of the liver or from ischaemic heart disease.

A 59-year-old male with ischemic heart disease and cholecystolithiasis underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using the right gastro-epiploic artery (GEA) and cholecystectomy simultaneously CABG was performed under standard extracorporeal circulation followed by cholecystectomy at the same incision. The opening in the dome of the diaphragm where the pedicle of GEA was brought up was closed with fibrin glue. Then, sternum was closed and cholecystectomy was performed with no elongation of the incision. The postoperative course was uneventful without mediastinitis or other infectious events. The postoperative angiography showed good patency of the GEA graft. Combined CABG using GEA and cholecystectomy is beneficial for the selected patients.

The frequency of patients requiring non-cardiac surgery complicates ischemic heart disease (IHD) is increasing, however, there have been few reports of combined coronary revascularization and abdominal surgery. In this paper, we describe three patients with IHD and cholecystolithiasis in whom simultaneous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and cholecystectomy was successfully performed. Initially, CABG was performed employing standard extracorporeal circulation through median sternotomy. After closure of chest, cholecystectomy was carried out through right pararectal laparotomy. Their postoperative course was uneventful. Relief of angina and freedom from epigastralgia were obtained in all patients. Combined CABG and cholecystectomy is beneficial for the selected patients.
