Koroner Arter Bypass Sonrası İzole Total Gastrik Nekroz: Nadir ve Hayatı Tehdit Eden Bir Komplikasyon

Abstract

Akut gastrik nekroz, mideyi besleyen zengin damar ağı nedeniyle son derece nadir görülen bir klinik tablodur. Çoğunlukla gastrik dilatasyon veya mezenterik iskemi ile ilişkili olsa da, bağırsak tutulumu olmaksızın gelişen izole total gastrik nekroz oldukça olağandışıdır.

Yetmiş üç yaşında erkek hasta, koroner arter bypass grefti (CABG) sonrası 10. postoperatif günde akut batın tablosu ile başvurdu. Hasta sistemik antikoagülasyon tedavisi almaktaydı. Laboratuvar incelemelerinde lökositoz, böbrek fonksiyon bozukluğu ve koagülopati saptandı. Bilgisayarlı tomografi incelemesinde mide çevresinde serbest hava görüldü. Acil laparotomide, gastrik dilatasyon ya da ince bağırsak tutulumuna eşlik etmeyen izole total gastrik nekroz saptandı. Hastaya Roux-en-Y özofagojejunostomi ile total gastrektomi uygulandı. Histopatolojik incelemede damar tıkanıklığı ya da NSAİİ’ye bağlı hasar olmaksızın tam kat nekroz ile iskemik ve inflamatuvar değişiklikler izlendi.

Hasta postoperatif dönemde stabil seyir gösterdi ve 24. günde taburcu edildi. Güçlü kollateral dolaşıma rağmen, yakın dönemde geçirilmiş kardiyak cerrahi, antikoagülasyon ve kardiyovasküler yetmezlik gibi sistemik durumlarda gastrik iskemi gelişebilmektedir. Olgumuzda diğer organlarda iskemik hasar bulunmaması bu tabloyu özgün kılmaktadır. Erken bulgular genellikle nonspesifiktir ve tanı çoğu zaman gecikmekte, bu da mortalite oranlarını artırmaktadır. İzole gastrik nekroz, nadir görülmesine rağmen, CABG sonrası akut batın ile başvuran hastalarda ayırıcı tanıda mutlaka göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır. Erken tanı ve cerrahi müdahale sağkalım için kritik öneme sahiptir.

Isolated Total Gastric Necrosis Following Coronary Artery Bypass: A Rare and Life-Threatening Complication

Year 2025, Volume: 6 Issue: 3, 345 - 349, 28.09.2025

Abstract

Acute gastric necrosis is an exceptionally rare condition, attributed to the stomach’s rich vascular supply. While often linked to gastric dilatation or mesenteric ischemia, isolated total gastric necrosis without bowel involvement is highly unusual. A 73-year-old male presented with acute abdomen on postoperative day 10 following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). He was on systemic anticoagulation. Laboratory findings revealed leukocytosis, renal dysfunction, and coagulopathy. CT imaging showed free air around the stomach. Emergency laparotomy revealed isolated total gastric necrosis without gastric dilatation or small bowel involvement. Total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy was performed. Histopathology showed full-thickness necrosis with ischemic and inflammatory changes but no vascular
occlusion or NSAID-induced damage. The patient recovered well and was discharged on postoperative day 24. Despite robust collateral circulation, gastric ischemia can occur under certain systemic conditions such as recent cardiac surgery, anticoagulation, and cardiovascular compromise. In our case, the absence of other ischemic organ damage makes this presentation unique. Early signs are often nonspecific, and diagnosis is frequently delayed, contributing to high mortality. Isolated gastric necrosis, though rare, should be considered in post-CABG patients with acute abdominal symptoms. Early recognition and surgical intervention are vital for survival.
