Rare complication after cardiac surgery: a case report of pyoderma gangrenosum

Giovanni Mariscalco et al. J Card Surg. 2009 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

Pyoderma gangrenosum is an uncommon, idiopathic, chronic ulcerative inflammatory skin disease characterized by a rapidly progressive necrosis of the wound edges, and mimics a postoperative infection. Few cases have been reported after cardiothoracic surgery. We present a case of a pyoderma gangrenosum occurring after coronary artery bypass graft.
