Descreve-se o caso de um paciente de 73 anos, candidato à correção de aneurisma de aorta abdominal, sem anormalidades na primeira avaliação cardiológica. A cirurgia foi postergada para tratamento de epididimite. Duas semanas após, o paciente retornou ao hospital com dor torácica e a angiografia mostrou obstruções de duas coronárias, tratadas com sucesso por angioplastia transluminal percutânea com implante de stent. Após 45 dias, o paciente foi submetido à cirurgia para correção do aneurisma de aorta abdominal sob anestesia peridural e geral, evoluindo sem complicações.We report the case of a 73-year-old male patient who was a candidate for correction of an abdominal aortic aneurysm without abnormalities in his first cardiological evaluation. The surgery was postponed because of the need for treatment of epididymitis. Two weeks later, the patient returned to the hospital with thoracic pain, when the angiography showed obstructions in 2 coronary arteries, which were successfully treated with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stent implantation. After 45 days, the patient underwent surgery for correction of the abdominal aortic aneurysm under peridural and general anesthesia. The patient evolved without complications.
