Abstract: (2607 Views)
Background and Objectives: Gastrointestinal complications after open heart surgery are rare, but can lead to re-surgery in the postoperative period. The purpose of this study is to report a rare case of intestinal dilatation due to bezoar after CABG.
Case report: A 76-year-old female patient came to the emergency department of the hospital with complaints of chest pain, shortness of breath and sweating. During the angiography report, the heart vessels were blocked. CABG was performed for him. After the operation, the patient suffered from nausea and vomiting and lost the ability to swallow. Following the continuation of the patient's condition, after CT SCAN, intestinal obstruction was diagnosed as a cause. After open abdominal surgery, the mass was removed and the patient was discharged from the hospital with recovery.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of a case report of bezoar after open heart surgery, the treatment staff should consider the possibility of gastrointestinal complications, especially intestinal obstruction in patients who have nausea, frequent vomiting and inability to swallow. Therefore, after heart surgeries, to ensure early diagnosis and appropriate treatment to prevent further complications and adverse outcomes, pay attention to the importance of the event.
