Emergency surgery for stab wounds to the heart showing the repaired wound!

This victim received a stab wound to the chest, medial to the left nipple, ending in his heart by penetrating his right ventricle. He was rushed to the emergency department and immediate resuscitation was started and continued in the operating room, where continued bleeding after placement of the chest tube prompted emergency thoracotomy. A bleeding wound in the right ventricle anteriorly was found, and it was closed by sutures (seen at the center).
