This report describes the case of a 37-year-old man who fell from 6 m height and presented an isolated rupture of the right pulmonary vein. The patient had a low blood pressure without any sign of intrathoracic injury. An echocardiogram revealed a tamponade with hemodynamic intolerance. The repair was made using cardiopulmonary bypass which made the inspection and total repair of the lesions easier. This case is unusual because of the isolated lesion and the few articles about similar reports founded in an extended literature review. Mechanisms and generation of blunt chest trauma lesions are discussed.
