Tetraplegia is a rare complication after coronary artery bypass surgery. The authors present a case of tetraplegia after uncomplicated coronary artery bypass surgery because of cervical disc herniation. No distinct abnormality was found in the preoperative neurologic examination although the postoperative cervical magnetic resonance imaging revealed a huge hernia at C5–C6 level presenting with tetraplegia. Surgical decompression was performed on the second postoperative day of bypass surgery, and neurologic deficits gradually improved.

We report the case of a 73-year-old woman who developed a left chylothorax subsequent to surgical myocardial revascularization using the left internal mammary artery. This complication was successfully managed with thoracostomy tube drainage, chemical pleurodesis, and dietary manipulation. We review the literature regarding chylothorax after coronary artery bypass surgery and discuss the etiology and management of this rare complication.
