Abstract
We describe two patients undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass with concomitant enlarged tropical spleen. Volume overload and leukocytosis occurred during pump management. In the first patient this resulted in acute lung injury, but in the second case methods to reduce the impact of leukocytosis were taken, resulting in a normal postoperative course.
