RESUMO
The case presents a traumatic ventricular perforation of a girl, accidentally felt on a sharp instrument. The uniqueness of the case presented is due to the very high infrequency of injuries with this type of sharp object. The 7-year-old girl was transported to the hospital after accidentally falling on a sharp instrument. The child had no signs of heart failure. On opening the chest, it was found that the metal object was lodged in the right ventricle. Quickly proceeded to remove the object and suture the entry hole. After a short hospitalization, the child was discharged completely cured.

Infective endocarditis (the infection of heart valves or, in generally, of endocardium) is a serious disease that requires a fast diagnosis, an aggressive and appropriate therapy and, if necessary, a collaboration between internist and surgeon. In this article we report a clinical case of an infective endocarditis in an old female patient, yet treated for aortic valve stenosis with replacement with mechanical prosthesis complicated by paravalvular abscess.
