A Rare Cause of Stroke FourWeeks After Ascending Aortic Aneurysm Repair
A 71-YEAR-OLD, 97 kg, 178 cm man with a history of a slowly expanding 5.4 cm ascending aortic aneurysm, bicuspid aortic valve disease without stenosis, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, type II diabetes mellitus, and hemodynamically insignificant coronary artery disease underwent ascending aortic replacement using a woven synthetic graft. The patient's postoperative course was complicated by persistent sternal drainage that required exploration, evacuation of pericardial fluid, and antibiotic treatment, but he otherwise made an uneventful recovery.

Femoral Neuropathy Following Spontaneous Retroperitoneal Hemorrhage After Cardiac Surgery: A Case Report
A woman underwent ascending aortic aneurysm repair, aortic root and valve replacement, and coronary artery bypass grafting. Her postoperative course was complicated by stroke and status epilepticus. With supportive care and antiepileptics, her neurologic status improved. Intravenous heparin and aspirin were initiated. On postoperative day 13, she developed a large retroperitoneal hematoma with femoral neuropathy. Because her hematoma was not amenable to percutaneous drainage or surgical evacuation, and considering her comorbidities, a conservative approach was elected. Anticoagulation was held but not reversed, and she was...
