Özet
Blunt chest trauma frequently occurs in motor vehicle accidents. These accidents may occasionally cause cardiac injury. Blunt cardiac injuries can be easily overlooked and when not recognized, may be life-threatening for the patients. Pulmonary vein injuries may rarely coexist after this kind of accidents. In this article we report a case with right superior pulmonary vein injury which occured following a work accident and was succesfully treated by surgery.
