Abdominal abscess: late complication after gastroepiploic coronary artery bypass grafting
Abstract:
The gastroepiploic artery is widely used an arterial conduit during coronary artery revascularisation surgery. We report an unusual complication of a 56-year-old man who developed a late intra-abdominal abscess extending into the mediastinum adjacent to the right ventricle more than 2 years after surgery. This was managed with percutaneous drainage and the patient made a full recovery. The case illustrates the potential problems associated with harvesting of this artery and the need for careful haemostasis.
