Abstract
A 36-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of impalement injury due to a downwards fall upon some reinforced steel rods. An emergency operation was performed using percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (PCPS). The steel rods were taken out in the operating room. The heart, great vessels, vertebrae, and spinal cord were not involved in the impalement wounds. We performed a bronchoplasty of the torn and separated right main bronchus, and repaired the impaled left lung without any pulmonary resection. He recuperated without sequelae.Entities:
