Abstract:
Vascular air embolism (VAE) is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening event often associated with various procedures and diagnostic tests. Understanding this challenging incident will enable physicians to evaluate, diagnose and manage this incident successfully. We present a case of a 73-year-old male who developed air in the right ventricle after intravenous contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) imaging. We aim at highlighting this challenging clinical scenario and emphasizing ways to assess the risks and implement means to prevent and treat accordingly.
