Abstract

A patient with severe blast injury died shortly after his arrival in the emergency room. A massive compressed air embolism of the aorta was found during exploration of the abdominal cavity in order to use the kidneys for transplantation. The post-mortem findings in the kidney were mainly of multiple air spaces in the interstitium compressing the collecting tubules.
