ABSTRACT
Anterior mediastinal hematoma is often reported as a complication of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). CPR can be performed as a result of myocardial infarction, and early percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and anticoagulant, antiplatelet agent can improve outcome. As use of antiplatelet agents, like glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, becomes more widespread, occurrence of complications such as bleeding may be increased. The mediastinal hematoma usually resolves itself without complications; however, a large amount of hematoma can cause cardiac tamponade. Therefore, rapid diagnosis is very important. We describe a case of anterior mediastinal hematoma detected by echocardiography after CPR and PCI.
