Abstract
Atrial rupture following blunt chest trauma carries a high mortality rate. It can be difficult to maintain hemodynamic stability and control massive bleeding due to poor visualization. We describe a case in which bleeding control was obtained simply and effectively using a Satinsky clamp, allowing repair of atrial rupture without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass.
