ABSTRACT

Diaphragmatic palsy in cardiac surgery is mainly related to coronary artery bypass surgery and has sometimes been found as one of the main factors associated with cardioplegia. We present a patient who was diagnosed with aortic stenosis and had associated left diaphragmatic paralysis. Both etiologies were resolved in a single surgical time with adequate evolution.
