    Traumatic ventricular septal perforation (VSP) is a rare type of heart injury. This case report describes a 72-year-old Japanese woman who got VSP secondary to weak blunt chest trauma on a train. A two-dimensional color doppler echocardiography and cardiac catheterization study revealed a VSP at muscular portion near the apex. On the 48th day following injury, she was performed a patch closure through left ventriculotomy under cardiopulmonary bypass. The patient was discharged uneventfully.
