Increasing rates of urban violence have contributed to a significant rise in the number of heart injuries by firearm projectiles. Such injuries are associated with the highest mortality rates among penetrating cardiac injuries and may involve one or more cardiac chambers. We present the case of a police officer who, in an approach to five robbers, suffered a transfixed cardiac injury by firearm with the projectile having been lodged inside the right ventricle. This patient was successfully operated, 65 days after the injury, at our institution. 2018 otro 0102-7638 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=398956091015 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3989/398956091015/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3989/398956091015/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3989/398956091015/398956091015.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3989/398956091015/movil 10.21470/1678-9741-2018-0012 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3989 Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular/Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular/Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.33
