冠狀動脈繞道手術後發生尺神經、正中神經及橈神經病變：病例報告

Abstract

Peripheral neuropathies after cardiac surgery are usually attributed to manipulation during the surgical procedure itself. A 54-year-old man developed left ulnar, median, and radial neuropathies after off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery. An electrodiagnostic study indicated a lesion located in the distal part of the upper arm. In view of the anatomy, this patient most likely developed neuropathy associated with intraoperative blood pressure monitoring. Iatrogenic peripheral neuropathy after cardiac surgery should be carefully assessed to find the exact cause.
