Acute abdomen after coronary artery bypass surgery masked by thoracic epidural analgesia

Epidural anesthesia does not decrease mortality or the incidence of myocardial infarction after coronary artery bypass grafting. It reduces the incidence of arrhythmias and respiratory complications and improves the quality of analgesia. High thoracic epidural anesthesia has been shown to be a safe and efficient technique for refractory angina that reduces the frequency of ischemic events and improves the clinical condition of patients.
