Atrial fibrillation as a contributing factor in the diagnostic algorithm for coronary subclavian steal syndrome and cardiac tamponade following coronary artery bypass graft surgery: a case study
Coronary subclavian steal syndrome (CSSS) is a complication of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery in patients with coexistent significant subclavian artery stenosis (SAS). It is characterized by a retrograde blood flow through the left internal mammary artery graft from the coronary to subclavian circulation, leading to myocardial ischemia. Current screening for CSSS includes bilateral blood pressure measurement for the detection of a significant inter-arm blood pressure difference. However, the commonly used automated sphygmomanometers have limited accuracy in patients with atrial fibrillation. Consequently, these patients are often underdiagnosed. We present a case of a 73- year-old man with a medical history of atrial fibrillation, peripheral artery disease, and CABG surgery four months before the current event, who came to the emergency department due to progressive dyspnea.
