    Author: Mirvis S, Scovill WA, Keramati B, Diaconis JN.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1985 Jul; 80(7):547-9. PubMed ID: 3874541.
    Abstract:
    Perforation of a sigmoid diverticulum occurred in two patients in the immediate postoperative period after coronary artery surgery. Etiological factors leading to diverticular perforation after coronary artery bypass grafting are discussed. The significance of pneumoperitoneum on the postoperative chest radiograph, which prompted diagnosis in these cases, is also discussed.
