Cardiac rupture is rare but has a high mortality rate. Cardiac rupture due to blunt trauma is generally caused by the heart being pinched into the bony thorax.
A 90-year-old man in shock was transported to the hospital after his precordium was stepped on by a cow. He developed right atrial rupture from penetration of the heart by fractured and calcified costal cartilage, with massive hemothorax, hemorrhagic shock, and respiratory failure. We immediately performed cardiac injury repair. The patient was discharged without sequelae.
Emergency physicians should be aware that secondary cardiac rupture can show a penetrating injury-like presentation due to calcified costal cartilage caused by blunt chest trauma.
心脏破裂虽罕见,但死亡率很高。钝性创伤导致的心脏破裂通常是由于心脏被挤压进骨性胸廓所致。
一名90岁休克男性在被牛踩踏前胸后被送往医院。他因骨折并钙化的肋软骨穿透心脏而发生右心房破裂,伴有大量血胸、失血性休克和呼吸衰竭。我们立即进行了心脏损伤修复。患者出院时无后遗症。
急诊医生应意识到,钝性胸部创伤导致的钙化肋软骨可使继发性心脏破裂呈现出类似穿透伤的表现。
