Surgical treatment of patients with kidney and bladder cancer in case of severe concomitant cardiovascular diseases.

It was operated 17 patients with kidney and bladder cancer against the background of severe concomitant coronary artery disease (52.9%), aortic aneurysm (35.3%) or combination of coronary artery disease with Leriche syndrome (5.9%) or hemodynamically significant stenosis of internal carotid artery (5.9%). Patients were operated for the period from 1998 to 2012. All patients were male at the age from 39 to 80 years (mean 62.1 years). The first stage of kidney cancer was diagnosed in 8 (53.3%) patients, the second stage - in 1 (6.7%) patient, the third stage - in 2 (13.3%) patients and the fourth stage was observed in 4 (26.7%) patients. Bladder cancer had 1 and 2 stages. Simultaneous operations were performed in 3 (17.6%) patients. 12 (70.6%) patients were operated consequentially. Surgery for kidney cancer was not done in 2 (11.8%) of 17 patients because of patient death after coronary bypass surgery or patient refusal of surgery after carotid arteries stenting. Intraoperative and postoperative complications have been developed in 9 (52.9%) of 17 patients. 2 (11.8%) patients died. The complications frequency and mortality after simultaneous operations were 25% (1 of 4) and 0. These parameters were 57.1% (8 of 14) and 14.3% respectively in case of consequent tactics. It was not observed myocardial infarction and aortic aneurysm rupture after surgeries for kidney and bladder cancer. Overall 1, 3, 5 - year survival of patients with kidney cancer and severe concomitant cardiovascular diseases was 100%, 73.3% and 52.4% respectively. It was concluded that surgical treatment of severe concomitant coronary artery disease and aortic aneurysm in patients with kidney and bladder cancer decreases risk of myocardial infarction and aortic aneurysm rupture in intraoperative and postoperative periods.
