RESUMO
We present a case of survival as a result of surgical intervention after perforation of the left ventricle during the insertion of a pleural drainage tube. Surgical intervention was facilitated by the fact that the drainage tube responsible for the suspected perforation of the cardiac cavity was clamped and fastened, as opposed to withdrawn. The location of the perforation was established by measuring the pressure curve through the drainage tube.
