    Blunt chest trauma can cause multiple cardiac injuries. This case demonstrates successful surgical management of a ventricular septal defect, left ventricular aneurysm, and coronary arteriovenous fistula with aortic rupture.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Cardiac Surgery

    Background:

    • Blunt chest trauma can lead to diverse and complex cardiac injuries.
    • Multiple cardiac lesions, including septal defects and aneurysms, pose significant management challenges.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with a ventricular septal defect, left ventricular aneurysm, and coronary arteriovenous fistula following blunt chest trauma.
    • The patient also had an associated rupture of the thoracic aorta.

    Findings:

    • Successful surgical repair was achieved 32 days post-injury.
    • The repair involved a Teflon patch for the septal defect and ligation of the fistula.

    Implications:

    • Complex cardiac injuries resulting from blunt trauma can be managed successfully with timely surgical intervention.
