ABSTRACT
Cardiac injury secondary to non-penetrating trauma is more common than thought, albeit, the injury is usually minor and goes undiagnosed without significant sequelae in most cases. Blunt cardiac rupture is much rarer accounting for <0.05% of all trauma cases but lethal in most circumstances. We present a case report of a young trauma victim who presented with both right atrial rupture and traumatic atrial septal disruption (ASD) requiring extra-corporeal life support (ECLS) and surgical repair. Blunt cardiac trauma with chamber rupture and septal disruption is a devastating injury. Stopping the hemorrhage and using ECLS gave our patient time to stabilize before definitive management of her traumatic ASD.
