Key result
Aortic cross clamping during surgery for an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm precipitated sudden cardiac arrest in a patient with underlying coronary artery disease.
Highlights the risk of sudden cardiac arrest immediately following aortic cross clamping during abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in patients with underlying coronary artery disease.
May warrant vigilance for arrest during cross-clamping in CAD patients with AAA; single case leaves open generalizability.
We report a case of sudden cardiac arrest immediately after aortic cross clamping during surgery for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm in a patient with coronary artery disease. The cause, treatment, and necessary monitoring for the case are discussed.
