Abstract

Bichamber cardiac rupture is less frequent compared to unichamber cardiac rupture. We report a patient who was successfully treated after the diagnosis of penetrating stab wound of both ventricles. The key to improved outcome of management of cardiac trauma lies in the rapid transportation to a general hospital where cardiac surgery is available. Aggressive primary intervention and immediate operation are also major factors.
