ABSTRACT
A 79-year-old man was referred for urgent coronary artery bypass grafting. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed an atypically nose-shaped contrast defect, which intraoperatively turned out to be an atheromatous plaque. Its preoperative detection allowed us to prevent an adverse cerebral event. This case highlights that a thorough preoperative work-up should ideally include a CT angiography, in patients where atherosclerotic changes are to be expected.
