| Abstract: | Penetrating chest trauma leading to selective coronary artery injury is uncommon. Their incidence is not accurately established because the clinical diagnosis is difficult and the lesion is often revealed only during autopsy. The mortality rate remains high. We report a fatal case of selective right coronary artery injury due to a penetrating wound directed to the right chest. |
