We present a white male, aged 19, who was admitted for correction of pectus excavatum. The only abnormal preoperative findings were a mild systolic murmur, audible at the apex of the heart along with right bundle branch block. The patient underwent detachment of the pectoral and the rectus muscles from the rib cage, subperichondrial resection of the lowest four costal cartilages bilaterally, and an Abrams-type bar was used through a vertical mid-sternal incision. A quite sizable seroma was postoperatively formed. The seroma was successfully dealt with daily drainages and with administration of octreotide and etilefrine.

Blunt chest trauma (BCT) has become increasingly more prevalent in recent years. As a result, the incidence of blunt cardiac injury (BCI), or cardiac or myocardial contusion, has also increased. The sequelae of BCI often are undiagnosed due to variability in the clinical presentation. This case highlights a transient right bundle branch block (RBBB) following a motor vehicle accident (MVA), resulting in BCI. Right-sided cardiac injuries predominate BCI owing to the anterior location of the right ventricle within the thoracic cage; however, the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying the electrocardiographic manifestations are vaguely understood. In this case, a 66-year-old female sustained a BCI resulting in a transient RBBB. The patient fully recovered following a three-day hospitalization with complete recovery of normal cardiac conduction.
