Abstract:
Abdominal complications following cardiac surgery are rare events, but can be fatal if not diagnosed and managed in time. Aggressive treatments offer a better chance for survival in patients with risk factors. This case report describes the clinical presentation and details of 3 recently operated patients who suffered acute abdominal pain after cardiac surgery. The underlying causes were Crohn disease-associated ileal perforation, intestinal necrosis, and diverticulitis-associated colonic perforation. The presentation and management of these severe conditions are discussed.
