Abstract
|
|
|
|
Venous air embolism (VAE) is a potentially fatal complication in patients with chronic liver disease during liver surgery, although VAE is unlikely to occur during laparotomy in a supine position. We report a case presenting unexpected cardiovascular collapse due to venous air embolism in a patient with liver cirrhosis during hepatic resection.
