Meralgia paresthetica after aortic valve surgery

P E Antunes et al. J Heart Valve Dis. 1997 Nov.

Abstract

We report a case of meralgia paresthetica, a rare neurological complication, following aortic valvuloplasty. Although this complication was previously described after coronary artery bypass surgery, we believe this is the first case described after a valve procedure and hypothesize on its etiology.
