摘要
弹道栓塞是飞行物造成血管损伤的一种不常见并发症。由于栓子远离受伤部位,导弹栓子的发生可能会被忽视,导致严重缺血或栓塞的诊断延误。我们在此报告一例成功手术切除上臂右心室内罕见飞弹栓塞的病例。一名 44 岁的男子因左上臂被飞来的锤头金属碎片击中导致搏动性出血而到我院就诊。受伤 9 天后,胸部 X 光片和计算机断层扫描(CT)显示右心室有导弹栓塞,被认为是金属碎片的弹道栓塞。我们在心肺旁路手术下顺利取出了残留物,十天后出院回家。
[Surgery for a Missile Embolus in the Right Ventricle].
Ballistic embolism represents an unusual complication of vascular by a flying object injury. Because embolus is remote from injury site, the occurrence of missile embolus may be overlooked and lead to delay in diagnosis of significant ischemia or embolism. We herein report a successful surgical removal of a rare missile embolus from the upper arm in the right ventricle. A 44-year-old man visited our hospital because of pulsatile bleeding from the left upper arm due to injury by a flying metal fragment of a hammerhead. Chest roentgenogram and computed tomography (CT) scan 9 days after the injury demonstrated a missile embolus in the right ventricle, which was thought to be ballistic embolism of the metal fragment. We underwent surgical removal of the retained object under cardiopulmonary bypass uneventfully, and discharged home ten days later.
