He became hypotensive and required readmission to the Cardiac Surgical ICU. Upper endoscopy revealed multiple bleeding duodenal ulcers. On the 13th day after cardiac surgery, he underwent a truncal vagotomy and an extended pyloroplasty. He developed atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response, and he was treated with Amiodarone. Because of recurrent bleeding, he underwent an exploratory laparotomy with oversewing of bleeding ulcers in the third portion of his duodenum, a total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy and enteroenterostomy.
Rarely, because of severe atherosclerosis of the ascending aorta, a vein graft to the left side of the heart may be sewn to the right side of the aorta and pass posterior to the aorta through the aortopulmonary sinus. In this situation, injury to the graft might be avoided by careful observation of 26 3 The Postmortem Coronary Injection Fig. 5 A LIMA to the LAD (arrow) is seen in a lateral view.

17 Bioprosthetic valves found at autopsy may include a (A) Carpentier-Edwards porcine valve, (B) bovine pericardial valve, or (C) human aortic allograft valve Aortic Valve An aortic valve prosthesis may be in association with a tube graft reconstruction of the ascending aorta. If the valve prosthesis is within the end of the tube graft, a socalled composite graft, the surgery had been performed to treat either an ascending aortic aneurysm associated with a dilated aortic annulus causing significant aortic regurgitation, or an acute aortic dissection involving the native aortic valve to the extent that valvular competence could not be restored by suspending the prolapsed commissure with a suture technique.
