Cholesterol crystal embolization (CCE) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is rare but severe. Patients presenting with CCE symptoms before surgery should avoid CABG due to poor prognosis.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Nephrology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Cholesterol crystal embolization (CCE) is a known complication of vascular procedures.
  • Severe systemic CCE following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is infrequently reported.
  • CCE can manifest with multi-organ involvement, including cutaneous, renal, neurological, and hepatic systems.
