Penetrating cardiac trauma
2023, Surgery Open ScienceCitation Excerpt :Occasionally, trauma surgeons may encounter an in-situ cardiac foreign body. Symptoms attributable to these foreign bodies, including cardiac tamponade and arrhythmia, are considered a primary indication for removal [37,38]. Simple extraction of the offending object does however pose further risks of damage to a potentially unstable patient (e.g. a missile that approximates a coronary artery or is deeply embedded within the myocardium and tamponading the wound) [39,40].
