RESUMO

@#Iatrogenic diaphragmatic entry following thoracic surgery is rare with only two cases reported till date. This case reports on a 46-year-old male with persistent pleural sepsis due to right empyema thoracis despite best medical efforts. Following a right thoracotomy and decortication, the right diaphragm was inadvertently incised due to dense adhesions between the diaphragm and thickened cortex. To our knowledge, this is the third case reported of iatrogenic diaphragmatic entry following thoracic surgery for empyema thoracis. The pearls from this case report is that any evidence of empyema thoracis involving the lower lobe on imaging should warn the surgeons to be aware of inadvertent entry into the peritoneal cavity, as the diaphragm can be adherent to the cortex trapping the lower lobe.

RESUMO

@#We understand that autoimmune disorders such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus increases the likelihood of developing coronary heart disease. However, its implications on patients undergoing cardiac surgery is not well understood. Here we present a female patient with SLE who developed coronary artery disease at a young age and underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery. As SLE is associated with vasculitis, we wanted to understand regarding the choice of conduit as well as its long term patency. Also whether percutaneous angioplasty has a role to play in patients with SLE.
