Résumé
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery has a major role in the management of obstructive coronary artery disease, especially in patients with diabetes or multiple vessel disease. Currently, in the USA, the annual incidence rate of CABG has been reported to be approximately 400,000. Overall, gastrointestinal (GI) complications occur in less than 2% of patients undergoing open-heart surgery. Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction, also known as Ogilvie's syndrome, is a disorder characterized by dilatation of the colon in the absence of an anatomic lesion that obstructs the flow of intestinal contents. This condition occurs in 0.06% of patients following cardiac surgery, and in CABG patients, the reported incidence is approximately 0.046%. In this report, we discuss a case of a patient who developed Ogilvie's syndrome after undergoing CABG.
