Penetrating heart trauma is a surgical emergency and can be fatal. However, cardiac penetration occurring due to non-explosive shrapnel is a rare occurrence. We report a case of a 20-year-old man, who sustained a laceration in his left chest, while he was breaking a rock with a chisel and a hammer. He was diagnosed to have an intramyocardial foreign body in his left ventricle. He underwent left ventriculotomy, foreign body localization under fluoroscopic guidance and successful extraction of the shrapnel from the left ventricular cavity.
