Abstract
A 21-year-old male developed pericardial tamponade in a delayed fashio n after blunt chest trauma. Tamponade was not suspected clinically and was first seen on computed tomography of the abdomen. Plain films of the chest revealed distortion of the path of a Swan-Ganz catheter due to the ventricular compression. After drainage, left inferior phrenic artery embolization was performed to treat the persistent hemothorax.
