Abstract
The authors report an exceptionally rare case of intrathoracic textilo ma presenting with a recurrence of chest pain after myocardial revascu larisation by double internal mammary artery bypass grafting. The diag nosis was suspected before reoperation from the results of echocardiog raphy, CT scanning and magnetic resonance imaging. The authors discuss the clinical and paraclinical features and the treatment. The medico- legal aspects of this surgical complication are not negligeable.
