Has anyone here seen a rupture of a coronary artery due to blunt chest
trauma?  I've encountered two instances of this in the cases I am looking
into for my research project.  The only reference to this I could find in
the literature was a motorcycle accident where the patient had been on
anticoagulants.  I am curious as to how odd of an injury this actually is as
I had never heard of it occurring previously.
