Abstract

This report describes the case of a patient who was admit­ted to the Emergency Department, in cardiac arrest with a gunshot cardiac wound. The wound involved the right ven­tricle, right atrium and right lung, and was surgically re­paired with revision of cardiac injury and drainage of hemato-pneumothorax. The echocardiogram recorded in the mediate post-operative period demonstrated a perforation hole of a tricuspid valve, which produced a minor tricuspid insufficiency. Here we include different considerations re­garding cardiac traumatism.
