Cardiac amyloidosis in the cardiosurgical operating room--a rare but fatal trap.

P Zacek1, K Medilek, V Lonsky, J Laco, M Nova, J Dominik.   

Abstract

Coronary artery bypass grafting resulted in a fatal outcome in two patients with unsuspected cardiac amyloidosis. Despite preoperative symptoms of myocardial ischemia, each case represented a different pathophysiological combination of cardiac amyloidosis and coronary artery disease. Pitfalls preventing correct diagnosis and possible patterns of treatment are discussed.
