Abstract
Penetrating wounds of the heart may result in acquired intracardiac defects similar
to congenital defects. Five such cases have been seen at the Jefferson Davis Hospital,
Houston, Texas. One patient with an acquired interventricular septal defect was seen
prior to the availability of present techniques of open-heart surgery. Subsequently,
3 cases of traumatic aortic-right ventricular fistulas and one of traumatic interventricular
septal defect were successfully managed by primary nonoperative measures followed
by definitive repair of the defect with temporary cardiopulmonary bypass after a precise
anatomical diagnosis was made.
