But hemothorax related to azygos vein injury (AVI) is a rare condition following blunt chest trauma, with no report of CPR-related AVI in the literature. Hemothorax is not an uncommon cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR)â€“related complication.

Yang, Euiseok Jeong, WonJoon Lee, JunWan Kim, SeungWhan Life-threatening hemothorax due to azygos vein rupture after chest compression during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery.

The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient reported improved exercise capacity. Azygos vein aneurysm resection in combination with tricuspid and mitral valve repair using cardiopulmonary bypass was performed successfully through a right anterior thoracotomy. Since valve disease is considered a significant precipitating factor for both dyspnoea and pleural effusion, we decided to study the aetiologies of these conditions concomitantly. We report a case of recurrent pleural effusion caused by an azygos vein aneurysm in a patient with moderate mitral valve regurgitation (MR) and tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR).

Suzuki, Yota Kaji, Masahiro Hirose, Shigemichi Ohtsubo, SatoshiĪzygos vein aneurysm is very rare and is usually found incidentally because of its clinical silence. Azygos vein aneurysm resection concomitant with heart valve repair via right thoracotomy.
