Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We present a case of postoperative cardiac arrest caused by extrinsic occlusion of the right coronary artery by an aortic pseudoaneurysm. Extrinsic impingement upon the coronary arteries may result from several etiologies and lead to cardiac symptoms identical to those caused by intrinsic coronary disease. Extrinsic compression may be amenable to treatment with angioplasty or a combination of angioplasty and surgery.
