Atrial Rupture

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.

Hemodynamic State

Of 602 patients who underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in a 6-year period, 18 required emergency coronary artery bypass grafting within 12 hours of the procedure. The indications for emergency surgery were acute myocardial infarction in 5 patients, coronary artery dissection in 4, ventricular fibrillation in 3, unstable angina pectoris in 2, total coronary occlusion in 3, and cardiogenic shock in 1 patient. All patients were taken to the operating room in a deteriorating hemodynamic state; 4 received vasodilatating agents and another 4 were treated with vasodilators and inotropic agents, intra-aortic balloon pumping was used in 7, an autoperfusion catheter in 1, and 1 other required external cardiac massage. One patient was operated on in the catheterization laboratory. There was 1 death, giving an operative mortality of 5.6%. The internal thoracic artery was used for coronary artery bypass grafting in 7 patients. There were no deaths during the long-term follow-up.
