Myocardial revascularization in patients presenting with an anterior mediastinal mass poses considerable challenges. In this report, we outline two cases involving patients with anterior mediastinal masses who underwent surgical resection alongside concurrent myocardial revascularization. One patient underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery, while the other was treated by percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stent placement. Both patients fully recovered from the relative procedures and were discharged within two weeks post-surgery, ultimately diagnosed with thymoma. The concomitant intervention offered the advantage of promptly addressing both conditions, and it was performed safely through a collaborative multidisciplinary effort.
