Common Focal Neuropathies in the Hospitalized Patient
2022, Neurologic ClinicsCitation Excerpt :The nerve originates from the third, fourth, and fifth cervical nerve roots and descends in the thorax to the diaphragm. The principle cause of injury is topical hypothermia due to the “ice-slush” used for myocardial protection during these procedures, with the left phrenic nerve being most susceptible due to its course near the heart.64 The phrenic nerve may also be injured in internal mammary artery dissection.64
Neurologic complications of cardiac and vascular surgery
2017, Handbook of Clinical NeurologyCitation Excerpt :Peripheral neuropathies can occur in about 10–15% of patients undergoing CABG. The most common neuropathies involve the brachial plexus, with incidence ranging from 1.5% to 24%, phrenic nerve (26%, with range of 10–60%), and, less frequently, the recurrent laryngeal and saphenous nerves (Vander Salm, 1984; Efthimiou et al., 1991; O'Brien et al., 1991; DeVita et al., 1993; Sharma et al., 2000). In one study, the incidence of saphenous neuropathy was as high as 90% immediately after surgery (Nair et al., 1988).

2013, Heart Lung and CirculationCitation Excerpt :They postulated that ischaemia occurs due to sacrifice of the pericardiacophrenic artery that provides approximately 52% of the blood supply to the left phrenic nerve. This artery is usually the first branch of the IMA but may arise either from thymic branches or directly from the subclavian artery [29]. They performed a study in pigs dividing them in two groups.
