Article Synopsis
  • Coronary air embolism is a rare but serious risk during coronary procedures, which can lead to critical complications like ventricular fibrillation.
  • A case study describes a patient who experienced a massive air embolism in the right coronary artery during an intervention but was successfully resuscitated through electric defibrillation, leading to a complete recovery.
  • The results imply that using a defibrillator to induce strong heart contractions can help break up large air emboli and improve blood flow in the coronary arteries.

Background: Either dual antiplatelet therapy or oral anticoagulation in combination with aspirin represent recommended treatment regimens following left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). As the majority of patients receiving LAAC have high bleeding risk, less aggressive antithrombotic treatments are needed, such as single antiplatelet therapy.

Objectives: To compare both ischemic and bleeding outcomes in patients receiving single (SAPT) or dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after successful LAAC.
