Abstract Background: Isolated right atrial rupture is a very rare catastrophic complication of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Objective: We described a rare case of right atrial rupture after external cardiac massage. Methods: We reported the case of a 62-year-old male patient who developed excessive bleeding following external cardiac massage for sudden cardiac arrest in the intensive care unit after coronary artery bypass grafting. Results: This man underwent successful emergency repair of the tear of the right atrium without using cardiopulmonary bypass. Conclusion: Right atrial rupture can occur after external cardiac massage. An emergency repair is needed.

We report the case of a patient with a huge interatrial septal aneurysm as an intraoperative coincidental finding that led to a fatal outcome. The patient was admitted to our hospital in order to undergo elective coronary artery bypass grafting because he suffered from severe coronary artery disease. We intraoperatively diagnosed by transesophageal echocardiography a huge interatrial septal aneurysm mimicking a right atrial tumor. The aneurysm was initially resected and then coronary artery bypass grafting was successfully performed but the patient never achieved a successful separation from cardiopulmonary bypass probably because of massive embolic events.
