Abstract
Penetrating cardiac injury is one of the most life – threatening conditions. Most patients die before reaching the hospital and those that arrive alive must receive immediate surgical intervention. We report the case of a 28-Years old male with penetrating chest trauma. This case was presented with symptoms of cardiac tamponade and diagnosis during the operation was ruptured left ventricle apex.
