Cardiac rupture is a rare but fatal complication among patients undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Myocardial rupture can manifest as a discontinuity in the myocardial wall, communication between the ventricle or atrium and the pericardium, hemopericardium, or active extravasation of contrast into the pericardium. It can also occur alongside pericardial rupture or hemothorax. Diagnosing myocardial rupture via imaging is uncommon due to its clinical urgency and high mortality rate. We present a rare case of a 50-year-old man who developed a right atrial rupture, as seen on CT angiography, following CPR and venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for sudden cardiac arrest.
心脏破裂是心肺复苏(CPR)患者中一种罕见但致命的并发症。心肌破裂可表现为心肌壁连续性中断、心室或心房与心包之间连通、心包积血或造影剂主动渗入心包。它也可能与心包破裂或血胸同时发生。由于其临床紧迫性和高死亡率,通过影像学诊断心肌破裂并不常见。我们报告一例罕见病例,一名50岁男性在因心脏骤停接受心肺复苏和静脉-动脉体外膜肺氧合(VA-ECMO)治疗后,CT血管造影显示出现右心房破裂。
