ABSTRACT
A 62-year-old woman with ischemic heart disease, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia had developed spinal cord infarction after off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB). The incidence of postoperative neurological complications is well known to be less in OPCAB than that of conventional coronary bypass surgery. Furthermore, spinal cord infarction is an uncommon clinical event after coronary bypass surgery. Here we report a case of spinal cord infarction following OPCAB, discuss possible mechanism of spinal cord infarction with relate literatures.
