Key result
Diffuse ST-segment elevation immediately after CABG in a 62-year-old male was not associated with graft failure or ischemia on coronary angiography and resolved spontaneously by the fifth postoperative day.
Why the study?
Diffuse ST-segment elevation after CABG is a rare condition with several differential diagnoses whose management can be challenging.

Diffuse ST-segment elevation after CABG is a rare condition requiring careful differential diagnosis, including perioperative myocardial infarction, pericarditis, acute graft thrombosis, and inadequate myocardial protection.

Consider nonischemic causes before reintervention in early post-CABG ST elevation; leaves open incidence and mechanisms.
Electrocardiography (ECG) is an easy and feasible tool for detecting and evaluating cardiac ischemia and other diseases, such as arrhythmia. ECG can diagnose the pathology and the process following treatment. Electrocardiogram changes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are common; they do not mainly indicate a critical condition. Diffuse ST-segment elevation after CABG is a rare condition that raises several differential diagnoses, such as perioperative myocardial infarction, pericarditis, acute graft thrombosis following surgery, and inadequate myocardial protection. The management of widespread ST-segment elevation following cardiac surgery can be challenging. In this article, we present a case with widespread ST-segment elevation following CABG surgery and hereby discuss the management and differential diagnosis.

Türe et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Diffuse ST-segment elevation after CABG (n=1). Coronary angiography was evaluated. Diffuse ST-segment elevation immediately after CABG in a 62-year-old male was not associated with graft failure or ischemia on coronary angiography and resolved spontaneously by the fifth postoperative day.
