    Journal: J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1976 Aug; 72(2):202-5. PubMed ID: 1085389.
    Abstract:
    A case of fat embolism syndrome following median sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass, with fatal outcome, is described. This syndrome is present subclinically in the majority of these surgical procedures. The etiology and possible mechanisms of production are discussed; management is empirical and aimed at maintaining the function of embolized microvascular endothelium.
