Abstract
There are concerns regarding safe conduct of open-heart surgery in a patient with hematological malignancy, both in intraoperative and postoperative management of the patient. There is a paucity of literature regarding this problem and limited data have been published regarding the conduct of coronary artery bypass surgery on pump in a patient with hematological malignancies. We describe our experience in a patient with rheumatic heart disease with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma requiring mitral valve replacement.
