A patient developed acute compartment syndrome in his right leg after coronary artery bypass surgery. Prompt diagnosis via intracompartment pressure measurement was crucial.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • A 35-year-old male presented with critical left main coronary artery disease.
  • Refractory ischemia necessitated intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) insertion prior to emergency coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Observation:

  • Postoperatively, the patient reported right leg pain and decreased sensation in the right foot.
  • Pulses in the right foot remained palpable despite the neurological and pain symptoms.

Findings:

  • Acute compartment syndrome of the right leg was diagnosed.
  • Intracompartment pressure measurement revealed a high pressure of 90 mm Hg.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare but serious complication following CABG surgery.
