متن کاملPapillary muscle dysfunction due to non-penetrating chest trauma. Recognition in a potential cardiac donor.
A previously healthy, x8-year-old man was transferred to Stanford Medical Center as a potential cardiac donor 20 hours after suffering severe head injury. Because of a systolic heart murmur, left ventricular angiography was performed and showed obvious mitral insufficiency. At necropsy the heart was normal exceptfor haemorrhagic necrosis within the tips of the mitral papillary muscles. Thus, pa...
متن کاملCardiac tamponade secondary to tension pneumopericardium from penetrating chest trauma.
Cardiac tamponade secondary to air is rare. Pneumopericardium is most commonly encountered in neonates, often secondary to positive pressure ventilation. 1-3 In adults blunt trauma is the main cause of pneumopericardium. Cardiac tamponade occurs in roughly one-third of such patients. 1 A 24-year-old man presented to the Tshepong casualty department with a stabbed chest. His vital signs were ini...
