Abstract
Intraabdominal complications during cardiopulmonary bypass are extreme ly rare, with an incidence of less than 1% in multiple retrospective s tudies. These complications are associated with a high mortality, and their rapid diagnosis is critical to the outcome of the patient. We pr esent a ease of spontaneous intraabdominal hemorrhage after combined c arotid endarterectomy and four-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting, which was diagnosed through a diaphragmatic window.
