An examination of 109 patients after surgical treatment of wounds of the heart and pericardium were performed at late terms after treatment. It was found that good results had 53.2% of the patients, 12.8% of the patients had limited working capacity, 4.6% of the patients became invalids. Satisfactory and bad outcomes resulted from the development of consequences of the trauma and operation.
