Abstract
We report an unusual case of intrapericardial diaphragmatic hernia 2 years after coronary artery bypass surgery with the right gastroepiploic artery. Herniation through the orifice created for the right gastroepiploic artery caused small bowel strangulation and secondary volvulus requiring extensive small bowel resection due to acute mesenteric ischemia. This case highlights the importance of careful operative management of coronary artery bypass surgery with the right gastroepiploic artery and increases awareness of this rare but potentially fatal complication.Entities:
