| description | Cardiac rupture, particularly rupture of the left ventricular wall, has a very high mortality rate. In this occasion, even if injured patients being alive when carried to the hospital, many of them will die due to following possible reasons: severe bleeding, cardiac tamponade, wasting time for routine and usual diagnostic procedures or transferring the injured to other hospital equipped for cardiac surgery. The only way to avoid these dangerous hazards is prompt thoracotomy and repair of the wound, which must be done in any surgical ward available. We report a case of cardiact rupture due to penetrating injury caused by a slender sharp object, passing through the heart anteroposteriorly. The patient was successfully rescued. This report indicates that in hospital, where no facility for cardiac surgery is available, this kind of emergency surgery for cardiac rupture is very indicative and may save the life of injured patient. |
