Abstract
We report a patient with retained metal coronary bulldog clips in the mediastinum during coronary artery bypass surgery which was recognized during coronary angiography following the diagnosis of unstable angina pectoris after an uncomplicated period of five years. This case suggests that conservative management of patients with postoperatively recognized retained foreign material should be kept in mind as an alternative to reoperation.
Özet
Koroner arter bypass cerrahisi sırasında mediyastinde metal koroner bulldog klempi unutulan ve beş yıllık komplikasyonsuz bir sürenin ardından kararsız anjina pektoris tanısıyla yapılan koroner anjiyografisinde tesadüfen yabancı cisim tespit edilen bir hasta sunuldu. Bu olgu ameliyat sonrası dönemde yabancı cisim unutulduğu fark edilen hastalarda konservatif tedavinin tekrar ameliyata bir alternatif olarak akılda tutulması gerektiğini düşündürmektedir.
