Case report reveals fatal air embolism during cardiopulmonary bypass in a patient with atrial septal defect, highlighting critical safety issues.

The patient experienced cardiac arrest due to air entry into the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit during surgery.
After the operation, severe complications arose, including cerebral air embolism and multiorgan failure, leading to death.
Minimally invasive atrial septal defect repair was attempted but required conversion to conventional surgery to address complications.
This case emphasizes the need for preventive measures to enhance safety during cardiovascular surgeries.

Jin et al. (2025) studied this question.
