Successful treatment of intracardiac air embolism using intracardiac catheter aspiration
Intracardic air embolism is uncommon, however it is a serious condition which frequently leads to catastrophic complications during or after invasive procedures resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. For a successful resuscitation of patients with intracardiac air embolism, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is critical. Still, due to a hyperbaric chamber’s unavailability at many hospitals an...
متن کاملParadoxic air embolism in the absence of an intracardiac defect.
A 58-year-old man experienced paradoxic air embolism with passage of air from the systemic venous to the systemic arterial circulation with subsequent stroke and death. No intracardiac shunt was present. Pulmonary fibrosis concomitant with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension appears to have been responsible for the air traversing the pulmonary capillary bed. This unusual outcome of a complic...
متن کاملAir pollution and retained particles in the lung.
Epidemiologic evidence associates particulate air pollution with cardiopulmonary morbidity and mortality. The biological mechanisms underlying these associations and the relationship between ambient levels and retained particles in the lung remain uncertain. We examined the parenchymal particle content of 11 autopsy lungs from never-smoking female residents of Mexico City, a region with high am...
متن کاملIntracardiac Thrombosis in Sickle Cell Disease
In patients with sickle cell disease, thrombotic microangiopathy is a rare complication. Also in sickle cell disease, intracardiac thrombus formation without structural heart diseases or atrial arrhythmias is a rare phenomenon. We herein describe a 22-year-old woman, who was a known case of sickle cell-βthalassemia, had a history of recent missed abortion, and was admitted with a vaso-occlusive...
متن کاملVenous air embolism and intracardiac thrombus after pressurized fibrin glue during liver surgery.
After segmental liver resection, a fibrin glue aerosol was used to stop diffuse bleeding from the liver resection site. Immediately after pressurized administration, severe hypotension and bradycardia occurred, requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation and inotropic support. Transoesophageal echocardiography demonstrated air in both ventricles deriving from the inferior vena cava; contractility o...
