Background: Endoscopic sclerotherapy using sodium morrhuate has been used to treat patients with weight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass whose presumed etiology is loss of restriction due to gastrojejunostomy dilation. Weight loss and stability have been demonstrated in several studies with short-term follow-up evaluation.
Methods: This retrospective review evaluated all the patients who underwent sclerotherapy for a dilated gastrojejunostomy between 2007 and 2012.
Objectives: To report a case of penetrating cardiac injury with patient's survival.
Clinical Presentation And Intervention: A 23-year-old man stabbed with a knife to the epigastric area just below the right costal margin was brought to the Emergency Room, Al-Adan Hospital, Kuwait, in a state of shock. Aggressive resuscitation was performed, chest X-ray showed no evidence of hemo- or pneumothorax.
