Abstract
ABSTRACT We reviewed previously reported imaging features of coronary air embolism. We also reported an unusual image ‘rebound sign’ of proximal coronary artery air embolism for the first time, that is, with the regular contraction and relaxation of the heart, the contrast medium near the embolus rebounds regularly, and the smooth gas-liquid boundary is alternately clear and blurred. We conclude that myocardial bridge plays a role in the formation of ‘rebound sign.’ Abbreviations: CAE: Coronary Air Embolism; CAG: Coronary Angiography; RCA: Right Coronary Artery; LCA: Left Coronary Artery; LAD: Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery; LCX: Left Circumflex Artery; MB: Myocardial Bridge; STEMI: ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction; TOE: Transesophageal Echocardiography
