ABSTRACTBlunt chest trauma causing coronary artery occlusion and myocardial infarction is a rare but potentially fatal condition. We present the case of a healthy 29-year-old man who developed a myocardial infarction due to complete occlusion of the proximal right coronary artery following blunt chest trauma. A review of the literature found 63 cases of previously healthy patients under 40 years of age who developed coronary artery occlusion following blunt chest trauma; diagnosis in all cases had been proven by angiography or during autopsy. The presentation, results of electrocardiography and echocardiography and laboratory findings of these patients are described.

Shortness Of Breath

Five months after undergoing orthotopic cardiac transplantation,<br />a 62-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with<br />chest pain and shortness of breath. A well-demarcated foreign<br />body was apparent in the chest radiograph, on the left side of<br />the chest. An examination revealed no abnormal findings and<br />no signs of chest trauma.

Traumatic Pseudoaneurysm

A pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle developed in an 11-year-old boy following a trivial blunt trauma to the chest wall. This was detected by echocardiography 3 months after the injury. An echocardiogram performed 2 weeks after the injury demonstrated intact chambers. The false aneurysm resulted from myocardial contusion with subsequent gradual rupture of the left ventricle without coronary artery occlusion. The patient underwent a successful surgical repair. This case demonstrates the need for careful follow-up of all patients sustaining blunt chest trauma.
