Abstract

Necrosis of the colon as a complication of cardiac injury is very rare. A 21-year-old young man was sent to the emergency room with shock status because of a stabbing wound penetrating into the heart. The patient survived after cardiopulmonary resuscitation, emergency sternotomy, and cardiac repair. Necrosis of the colon occurred 11 days after the accident.
