Abstract

Neurologic lesions are unusual complications after coronary artery bypass surgery. Among them, paraplegia is one of the rarest, with only a few cases reported in the literature. We report a case of paraplegia after coronary artery bypass following previous thoracic endovascular aortic repair.
