Abstract
- Systemic air embolism is a fatal complication of computed tomography-guided percutaneous lung biopsy. Here, we report a case of acute coronary artery air embolism following computed tomography (CT) guided percutaneous lung biopsy. The patient exhibited cardiac symptoms, and CT showed air density in left ventricle and aorta, indicating air embolism. Trendelenburg positioning and coronary angiography were performed during the treatment, and the patient was discharged without obvious complications.
