Core Tip	Simultaneous surgical interventions for cardiovascular and gastrointestinal pathology have not been well adapted so far. Staged procedure, depending on the clinical priority is usually preferred. Concomitant cardiac and gastrointestinal surgery holds a bundle of advantages with some challenges. We reviewed the outcome in 15 patients who underwent simultaneous cardiovascular and gastrointestinal surgery at Kagoshima University Hospital. Postoperative complications were noted in 5 cases, with 1 death. No adverse cardiovascular events were noted during follow up. The cumulative survival rate for all patients was 69.2% at 5 years. Synchronized cardiovascular and gastrointestinal procedures can be safely performed when needed.
