AbstractA 51-year-old woman was stabbed in the chest with a kitchen knife. Twenty minutes after arrival at our hospital by ambulance, she was transferred to the operating room, and a cardiopulmonary bypass was established from the right femoral artery and vein, and a median sternotomy was performed. The knife had damaged the surface of the heart and penetrated the lingular segment of the left lung. Both wounds were directly sutured. Chest X-rays taken after closing the chest showed bleeding in the left lung probably because of the administration of heparin. Bleeding was controlled by lingulectomy. The postoperative course was uneventful.
