[Intrathoracic textiloma after cardiac surgery. Apropos of a case].
The authors report an exceptionally rare case of intrathoracic textiloma presenting with a recurrence of chest pain after myocardial revascularisation by double internal mammary artery bypass grafting. The diagnosis was suspected before reoperation from the results of echocardiography. CT scanning and magnetic resonance imaging. The authors discuss the clinical and paraclinical features and the treatment. The medico-legal aspects of this surgical complication are not negligeable.
