Atheroembolic perioperative infarction during repeat coronary bypass surgery: angiographic documentation in a survivor

GM FitzGibbon and WJ Keon

We report the case of a patient in whom a myocardial infarction complicated a coronary bypass reoperation. We believe the infarction was associated with embolic occlusion of a large coronary branch by atheroma, which we demonstrated in a previous bypass graft preoperatively and did not see in the postoperative study. We are not aware that atheroembolism of a large coronary branch has been reported before in a survivor of reoperation.
