[Pleuro-pericardial effusion following the early intragraft thrombolysis of an occluded aortocoronary graft].

A case of contrast extravasation associated with pleuro-pericardial effusion occurring during recanalization of an early occluded aortocoronary bypass by intragraft fibrinolysis is reported. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the second report of angiographically demonstrated contrast extravasation from an aortocoronary bypass graft during this technique and the first associated with pleural effusion as a clinical manifestation.
