We herein describe a patient with segmental pulmonary artery transection after blunt trauma, which was diagnosed preoperatively by computed tomography. Bolus tracking contrast-enhanced computed tomography clearly depicted both aortic and pulmonary vasculatures. A one-step examination quickly disclosed aortic damage and injury to significant visceral organs. To the best of our knowledge, our pat...

Here we report a case of a 37-year-old man who had an AMI secondary to coronary dissection resulting from blunt chest trauma after involvement in a physical fight.
