Penetrating cardiac trauma carries high mortality rates. It has been commonly associated with stabbing, but increasing urban violence has led to growing numbers of gunshot heart wounds. The latter have higher mortality rates among penetrating cardiac injuries and may affect multiple heart chambers, with mortality rates even higher. We report a patient, victim of an attempted armed robbery, who had a transfixing gunshot wound to the heart, successfully operated at our institution.
穿透性心脏创伤死亡率很高。它通常与刺伤有关，但城市暴力事件的增加导致心脏枪伤的数量不断上升。在穿透性心脏损伤中，后者的死亡率更高，并且可能累及多个心腔，死亡率甚至更高。我们报告了一名在武装抢劫未遂案中的受害者，其心脏遭受贯通性枪伤，在我们机构成功接受了手术。
