An unusual source of massive intra-abdominal hemorrhage during cardio-pulmonary bypass
Di Pietrantonio F., Gaudino M., Piancone F., Luciani N., Glieca F., Possati G. F.
From the Chair of Heart Surgery Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Rome, Italy
Intra-abdominal hemorrhage occurring while on cardio-pulmonary bypass (CPB) is a rare and potentially lethal event during coronary artery bypass procedures. We herein report an unusual case in which massive intra-abdominal bleeding during CPB originated from a previously undiagnosed ovarian tumor, leading to acute anemization and hemodynamic instability and requiring emergency gynecologic surgery.
