Abstract Blunt chest trauma can cause a variety of cardiac injuries, either immediately or days after the trauma. We report a case of traumatic ventricular septal defect and ribbonlike left ventricular aneurysm, which was diagnosed 15 years after the initial blunt chest trauma. It was successfully r...

Zusammenfassung:	Abstract Blunt chest trauma can cause a variety of cardiac injuries, either immediately or days after the trauma. We report a case of traumatic ventricular septal defect and ribbonlike left ventricular aneurysm, which was diagnosed 15 years after the initial blunt chest trauma. It was successfully repaired using the endoventricular patch technique with a satisfactory 1-year follow-up result.
