AW: [HSF] LIMA harvest- extra pleural haematoma

[Dr. Roberto Battellini]

John,
may be a tear in  the first collateral of the LIMA. I had the same case last
year in a patient with preoperative thrombopenia. We reoperated him, and put
a lot of fibringlue there.

Betreff: [HSF] LIMA harvest- extra pleural haematoma

 
   
  In the last 2 years we have seen at least 3 times an  extra pleural
haematoma at  the apex/ upper zone of the left lung after CABG with LIMA. In
one of them it’s extra pleural location was confirmed with CT   and took  3
months to clear radiologically
   
  We suspect that it could be from post op bleeding in to the chest wall
from one of the braches of LIMA.
  Any comments about such a complication?
