Blunt cardiac injury (BCI) is defined as injuries sustained due to blunt trauma to the heart, and it remains unchanged for long time. The spectrum of BCI ranges from a minor “bruise” to specific postcontusion cardiac conditions such as free-wall rupture. This is a narrative review provides a continued and updates details regarding BCIs from 2008 to 2017. For this purpose, a narrative review of literature was conducted using appropriate database for retrieval of articles through systematic search methodology. Autopsy-based studies are very limited. It can be concluded that regardless of the variability in the spectrum of modalities and medical/surgical resources, BCIs diagnosis and management remain a puzzle and needs further prospective studies.

“…Cardiac MRI is generally favored when iodine-containing contrast agents are contraindicated such as contrast allergy, renal impairment, and hyperthyroidism. In the context of BCI, it is used to gain insight on the location and extent of damage[33] such as cardiac contusions,[35] pseudoaneurisms,[34] and for follow-up.…”

Case: A 40-year-old man received fist blows to his chest and abdomen. He presented with external jugular vein distention and facial congestion. Chest X-ray showed bilateral pulmonary congestion. A Levine V/VI holosystolic murmur was audible. Echocardiography showed left-to-right shunt flow across the perimembranous region of the ventricular septum. The diameter of the hole was approximately 13 mm. We diagnosed ventricular septal perforation, started an infusion, and administered vasopressors. However, circulatory dynamics could not be maintained. The ventricular septal perforation was repaired directly with mattress sutures through the right ventricle. A small residual ventricular septal perforation was detected, which was repaired with a patch sutured through the left ventricle.Outcome: The patient was discharged without cardiovascular complications 43 days after admission. Conclusion: Ventricular septal perforation following blunt chest trauma is a rare form of cardiac trauma. It is important to consider the timing of the operation and the best method to ensure cardiac repair.
