Scintigraphic documentation of hemorrhage from coronary artery bypass graft

· Clin. Nucl. Med.; (United States)
Tc-99m labeled RBC imaging was used to conclusively demonstrate continuing intrathoracic hemorrhage from the anastomotic site of a coronary artery bypass graft. Demonstration of continuing hemorrhage and localization of the most likely site of bleeding resulted in timely and appropriate surgical intervention, which resulted in hemostasis and eventual patient recovery. Tc-99m RBC imaging may be an ideal noninvasive technique to investigate the site and activity of intrathoracic hemorrhage after coronary bypass surgery and other thoracic procedures.
