Abstract
Obstruction of the inferior vena cava (IVC) following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a rare complication. We describe a case of IVC outflow obstruction secondary to inferior cavoatrial junction injury during CABG. The diagnostic and management approaches used to care for this patient are discussed. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
