Abstract

Cerebral arterial gas embolism is a serious and often iatrogenic fatal event associated with invasive procedures. It is a possible cause of a cardiac arrest and the diagnosis is challenging. We report a case of a cardiac arrest after a cerebral arterial gas embolism, in a 63-year-old male subjected to a Computed Tomography-guided Transthoracic Needle Aspiration Biopsy, which was successfully managed with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Keywords:
Cerebral arterial gas embolism
Cardiac arrest
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
