We experienced the perioperative management of a 47 year-old patient for transthoracic esophagectomy after myocardial infarction. He was admitted to our hospital and diagnosed as having advanced esophageal cancer and he developed extensive myocardial infarction on the day of admission. Revascularization with PTCA was not successful, and circulatory support (IABP) was required for 7 days. Complete occlusion of the right coronary artery and extensive akynesis of the right ventricle occurred. Two months later, transthoracic esophagectomy was scheduled. The patient was monitored with pulmonary artery catheter during perioperative period. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged 64 th day after the operation.
