Abstract :
We report a case of a rare but lethal complication of coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG); Ogilvie syndrome. Coronary surgery is also reported to be complicated with gastrointestinal complications other than Ogilvie syndrome with an incidence of 1-2% . These complications are associated with 11% to 70% mortality risk. However, incidence of Ogilvie syndrome after coronary surgery is unclear. We believe that it is extremely rare.
