Abstract

Aim: Venous air embolism is a rare but potentially life threatening complication of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Diagnosis is difficult because of the lack of specific signs or symptoms. Case: A 62-year-old man underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for choledocholithiasis. A cardiovascular collapse occurred during the procedure. The echocardiography showed air within the right ventricle. Aspiration of air from the right ventricle was done and saved the patient's life. Conclusion: We highlight through this case that increased awareness is essential for prompt recognition of the air embolism to allow life-saving therapy.

内镜逆行胰胆管造影术并发空气栓塞。

目的：静脉空气栓塞是内镜逆行胰胆管造影术中一种罕见但可能危及生命的并发症。由于缺乏特异性体征或症状，诊断十分困难。病例：一名 62 岁的男子因胆总管结石接受了内镜逆行胰胆管造影术。手术过程中发生了心血管衰竭。超声心动图显示右心室内有空气。对右心室内的空气进行了抽吸，挽救了患者的生命。结论：通过本病例，我们强调提高对空气栓塞的认识至关重要，只有及时发现空气栓塞，才能采取挽救生命的治疗措施。
