Abstract:
After a penetrating thoracic injury early detection of intracardiac injury and early surgical repair when indicated are essential. A case presenting severe respiratory distress two weeks after a penetrating thoracic injury is reported. Transesophageal echocardiography showed massive pericardial effusion ventricular septal defect and mirtal regurgitation, The infundibular ventricular septal perforation was repaired using a Dacron patch the anterior mitral leaflet by interrupted sutures and the ruptured chordae of the posterior leaflet by a new chordae formation.
