title: [Liver rupture with hemoperitoneum as rare complication of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in young patient with acute myocardial infarction].
abstract: Rupture of the liver is a rare but a very serious complication of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The presented case report describes a young patient with acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation treated by primary PCI. Just during admission to the hospital she had ventricular fibrillation with prolonged resuscitation. Subsequently due to a decrease of hemoglobine a liver rupture with hemoperitoneum was diagnosed by ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT). Conservative therapy with repeated ultrasonography and CT examinations was successful even without discontinuation dual antiplatelet therapy. Frequency of this rare complication, diagnostics and therapeutic options are discussed.
