Breaking the rules! Cardiac injury from remote entry sites.

V Pathi1, F W Sutherland, A Ireland, K G Davidson.   

Abstract

An unusual case of penetrating injury to the heart is reported. This presented late, after an initial silent period. A high index of suspicion must be maintained when chest injuries are managed conservatively. If there is doubt, a subxiphoid pericardial window may allow cardiac injury to be excluded.
