Prompt echocardiographic diagnosis and rapid surgical repair without cardiopulmonary bypass can successfully treat blunt traumatic right ventricular rupture.
Fukumoto et al. (1992) conducted a case report in Right ventricular rupture due to blunt trauma (n=1). Surgical repair via midsternal thoracotomy was evaluated on Survival and successful repair. Prompt echocardiographic diagnosis and surgical repair via midsternal thoracotomy without cardio-pulmonary bypass successfully treated a 58-year-old man with a blunt traumatic right ventricular rupture.
