SP - 133 EP - 135 VL - 54 IS - 2 N2 - A 34 years old woman, without previous cardiac symptoms, suffered a closed thoracic trauma in a car accident. Three days after presented dyspnea and orthopnea. Physical examination revealed a systolic murmur consistent with ventricular septal defect (VSD). Doppler echocardiography and angiography confirmed the presence of a muscular VSD with severe left-to-right shunt. Surgical intervention was indicated and VSD closure was performed with a patch, through a right atrium approach. Third degree atrioventricular block developed after surgery and a definitive pacemaker was implanted. The patient is asymptomatic and without murmurs in postoperative follow-up.
