Unusual localisation of a ventricular septal defect following blunt chest trauma.

چکیده
A 64 year old man presented with a traumatic ventricular septal defect following blunt chest trauma 40 years before.

The shunt was small, but the anomalous chronic overload led to right ventricular failure. The surgical correction was thus too late to improve right ventricular function.
