MARTIN BOURRICAUDY, Norkys et al. Traumatic lesion of the superior vena cava, pulmonary parenchyma and hilum. Rev Cub Med Mil [online]. 2008, vol.37, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3046.

The vascular thoracic traumatism is considered one of most complex in traumatology. The patient is critical since the trauma occurs and he aggravates rapidly, which impedes many times to take saving measures. Due to the fatal prognosis presented by the patients with these lesions, their cure after surgery is exceptional. A female patient that suffered from a traumatic lesion of the superior vena cava together with a transfixing wound in the upper right lobule and pulmonary hilum, was presented. She underwent emergency surgery and vascular suture of the vena cava and right upper lobectomy were performed. The patient had a satisfactory recovery.
