Abstract
In connection with blunt chest trauma, a 44-year-old man sustained isolated rupture of the right coronary artery. The lesion, which is extremely rare, was overlooked as there was no haemopericardium. The patient died. Since early surgical repair is essential, the possibility of coronary artery lesion must be kept in mind in all cases of severe thoracic trauma.Entities:
