Case report highlights necrotizing pancreatitis in post-CABG patients, suggesting significant implications for treatment and mortality.
Necrotizing pancreatitis post-CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting) is a complication arising from splanchnic hypoperfusion secondary to hemodynamic stress due to the lack of autoregulation in response to decreased blood pressure and persistent vasoconstriction during the procedure. Its incidence is approximately 0.2% to 3%, with an estimated mortality rate of about 39%. The diagnosis is primarily based on clinical presentation and imaging findings. Treatment after diagnosis focuses on minimally invasive techniques. We describe a case of necrotizing pancreatitis in a postoperative CABG patient who develops abdominal pain followed by multisystem involvement.
