Abstract
The mechanisms leading to traumatic injuries of the heart and coronary arteries and the typical lesions found are analyzed in light of experience with a total of 21 cases from several centers. The indications for angiography are discussed. Early angiography may be used for the emergency verification of a valvular, coronary, or myocardial rupture after intensive treatment has stabilized the patient's condition; in such situations the relative indications for angiography versus immediate surgery must be determined. Delayed angiography may be used in the more usual situations in which clear, persistent anomalies of a clinical, electric, or radiologic nature are observed.
