title: A Rare Case of Plastic Bronchitis in an Adult Patient After Cardiopulmonary Bypass.
abstract: Plastic bronchitis is a rare life-threatening complication observed after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We describe a case of a 54-year-old man in whom a fulminant case of plastic bronchitis developed after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and mitral valve repair. A brief review of the literature is also presented.
