Management of acute myocardial infarction after a blunt chest trauma.
Coronary artery dissection is a rare complication after blunt chest trauma. Patients usually present with sudden death and the diagnosis is frequently missed. In this report, we present a case of a 46-year-old with a hyperacute anterior wall myocardial infarction after blunt chest trauma. Diagnostic coronary angiography showed total occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD...
متن کاملCoronary pseudoaneurysm secondary to blunt chest trauma.
A 26-year-old man suffered a severe impact in a car crash. Computed tomography showed an image suspicious for coronary injury (Fig. 1a). Coronary angiography (Fig. 1b, Supplementary Video 1) revealed a pseudoaneurysm of the first diagonal branch. Sealing was cancelled because of spontaneous healing (Fig. 1c, Supplementary Video 2). Pseudoaneurysm disappeared and coronary artery remained normal ...
متن کاملBronchial rupture secondary to blunt chest trauma.
Bronchial injury due to blunt chest trauma is rare, and its rarity and the fact that it has two distinct modes of presentation may considerably delay diagnosis. Two recent cases illustrate the two main types of injury and presentation. In the first the rupture is intrapleural and air escapes into the pleural space; insertion of a chest drain leads to a continuous air leak. In the second type th...
متن کاملContrast-enhanced computed tomography for early detection of acute myocardial infarction due to blunt chest trauma
We report a case of blunt chest injury following a road accident leading to damage of the left main and left anterior descending coronary arteries causing acute myocardial infarction in a young person.
متن کاملAcute myocardial infarction related to blunt thoracic trauma.
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a rare, potentially fatal and often unrecognized complication of blunt thoracic trauma (BTT). Heart injury is diagnosed in less than 10% of all cases of blunt thoracic trauma. Medical literature is scarce in publications about AMI caused by BTT (AMI-BTT). There is no specific protocol on this issue. We describe two cases of AMI-BTT in young patients who were...
