Answer to the letter to the Editor

Answer to the Letter to Editor “Left ventricular perforation by a chest tube: Case report and review of complications”. Mind the left ventricle posterolateral wall please!

Dear Editor,

We would like to thank Dr Vitaliy Petrov for his valuable comment regarding our case report (1, 2). We fully agree that 3D computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging reconstructions are helpful in guiding chest tube insertion and treating complications.

With Best Regards
Ulises Rojel -Martinez,
Arrhythmias and Pacing Unit, Cardiology Service General Hospital “Dr. Eduardo Vázquez Navarro”, South Medical Center Puebla, Mexico
