Abstract

Bleeding complications after open heart surgery are not unusual. However, bleeding complications that occur in other organs, such as brain and gastrointestinal tract, are rare. It is associated with significant morbidity and mortality after open heart surgery. These case series reported two patients who experienced complications after open heart surgery in the form of massive intracerebral hemorrhage and massive gastrointestinal tract bleeding. The similarity in both cases is prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time.
