Abstract
A case of fulminant hepatitis immediately after a coronary revasculari zation procedure is reported. Although the patient had bilateral dry n ecrosis of the toes, the clinical setting, laboratory tests findings, and outcome pointed to a diagnosis of hypoxic hepatitis. However, drug -induced hepatitis could not be completely ruled out.
