  • Title: An uncommon cause of myocardial ischemia after coronary artery bypass grafting: "the dangerous drainage".
    Author: Beiras-Fernandez A, Möhnle P, Kopf C, Vicol C, Kur F, Reichart B.
    Journal: Heart Surg Forum; 2011 Jun; 14(3):E200-1. PubMed ID: 21676690.
    Abstract:
    The most common causes of myocardial ischemia and myocardial infarction early after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery are early graft occlusion/thrombosis or occlusion/ thrombosis of coronary arteries due to advanced coronary heart disease. We describe a case of postoperative myocardial ischemia due to an uncommon and quickly reversible cause: mechanical compression of a vein graft by a 19F flexible silicone mediastinal drainage tube.
