Early Acute Aortic Dissection after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
Charles, Debbie-Ann; Henson, Leslie & Hayes, Christopher Ruslan
Abstract
Acute aortic dissection is a rare but potentially fatal complication of CABG. Despite its low incidence it has a high mortality. Whereas intraoperative and late dissections are well described in the literature, early dissections are not. The latter may present atypically eluding diagnosis. Timely chest CT aids diagnosis.
