Key result
Satinsky clamp enables effective repair of blunt traumatic atrial rupture without cardiopulmonary bypass.
Why the study?
Atrial rupture following blunt chest trauma carries a high mortality rate, and maintaining hemodynamic stability and controlling massive bleeding can be difficult due to poor visualization.
Population
A patient with atrial rupture following blunt chest trauma

May enable bypass-free repair in select trauma cases; leaves open prospective validation in larger cohorts.
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.

Doi et al. (2012) studied this question. Using a Satinsky clamp achieved simple, effective bleeding control and enabled repair of atrial rupture from blunt chest trauma without cardiopulmonary bypass.
